Subject: clarification of verbatim!!
I am told to type some test files verbatim and I know that means exactly the way the dictator is saying it. My problem is the doctor is saying ain't and doesn't, which are contractions. This just do not seem right, right?

You listed this:
Lowercase the first letter of each item
in a series following a colon when the items are separated by commas.
The patient is on the following medications: Theo-Dur, prednisone, Bronkometer.
It says 'lowercase the first letter of each item in a series...but Theo-Dur has a capital letter...can you please tell me which of my examples is correct? Thanks

I think I am just confusing the issue for you. Here is what the BOS says about Military time. Maybe this is more helpful.
"Military time identifies the day's 24 hours by numerals 0100 through 2400. Hours 0100 through 1200 are consistent with a.m. hours 1 through noon, while hours 1300 through 2400 correlate with p.m. hours 1 through midnight.
This form takes four numerals. Do not separate hours from minutes with a colon. Do not use a.m. or p.m."
In my previous post I made a mistake, I told you if the number started with a 1 0r a 2 it was p.m. - that is not true. 1000 hours is 10 a.m. 1100 hours is 11 a.m. and 1200 hours is noon. 1300 hours is 1 p.m. etc...

I would leave it as you have it if the doctor is talking about two different fingers, which was my assumption. In my experience, doctors like to omit the word and a lot and commas are substituted. If he/she is taking about the same finger, then omit the comma.

Oops! I meant, in the discharge summary under the hospital course heading must we expand dictated abbreviations as we would under the impression or diagnosis? Or is it acceptable to leave them verbatim.
Thanks!!!!!!

My primary acct is a verbatim but am allowed to make grammatical corrections as long as it does not change the meaning. One of my docs dictated *monna releaser*. After getting my laugh for the day, I typed *I am going to release her*....this one was not an ESL. Gotta getta good laugh once in a while to keep sanity....

Would this be actual "verbatim" transcription or correct, per BOS? What would vertaim be when you have to type exactly what they say even if it is not proper? I think that is what the OP was asking. Now I am curious.

PPD is a test for tuberculosis. You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor. You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.
That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.

General surgeon talking about frozen section pathologic exam of squamous cell carcinoma lesion. First frozen section came back with positive margins so he went back to excise a second specimen which he submitted S/L "on fos" with the new margin up. This is a verbatim account and this dictator is on 100% QA (all reports) since he is so SPECIAL. I referenced the other reports in his MD data base and found "en Fos" which would have been put there by QA before the report was signed off to the hospital. I can't find this anywhere and was wondering if anybody has a clue?

If doc says "gasenous indigestion" and you are supposed to type verbatim, do you leave it gasenous? It's gaseous right?
Sorry, stupid question?
verbatim?--gasenous?
Subject: verbatim?--gasenous?
When typing verbatim would you commonly use a virgule like that? This verbatim thing is new to me and its got me all turned around. I cant tell if doc is saying "gasenous (meaning gaseous) indigestion" or if he is saying two symptoms the patient had, gassiness and indigestion. He says them right in a row like that.

Is this a verbatim account?
Subject: Is this a verbatim account?
If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.
