Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!
Subject: Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?

Question about meniscal repairs
Subject: Question about meniscal repairs

We discussed treatment options, which could include primary inside repair versus s/l end out suture technique, which would require direct visualization of the peroneal nerve.

Can't verify "end out suture technique" anywhere. Is this correct, or am I just hearing it wrong? Thx
