Subject: correct - if an MD spells anything, RED FLAG...SM
if an MD/dictator spells ANYTHING, it's a RED FLAG to look that spelling up because 95 percent of the time they misspelled whatever they were trying to spell. MDs were not great in grammar and/or spelling (for the most part) - they were great in other areas. *lol*

Don't forget that physicians use anatomic right and left. The chief complaint (which is usually a direct quote from the patient, but obviously not here) would relate to the patient's left or right. However, when the physician looks at the patient, it is opposite, so left is right. It's very confusing. But because this is in chief complaint (patient may be saying "my left") and doc is facing the patient it is anatomical right. Best always to flag regardless. Good question for this board!!

Subject: What I would do: Since doc spells it, and
you have exhausted all your references, I'd type it the way he spelled it and then flag it, saying that the doctor spelled it that way. That covers you. Docs are notorious bad spellers, but he might be privy to something so new it's not on the books yet.

99% when a dictator spells anything
Subject: 99% when a dictator spells anything
whenever they spell anything, I look it up because 99% of the time the dictator has spelled whatever they are trying to spell INCORRECTLY....it's a general rule of thumb for most MTs to do this - look up anything a dictator spells.........because we ALL know this about the dictators after 25+ years..........for some of us....in this biz.

Meant to say doc says (elsil) LSIL then spells LGSIL. I'm not familiar with GYN terminology and not sure if LSIL and LGSIL are interchangeable and I'm confused as to what she wants.

Subject: Med help--Dr. spells it "popinsisole"
I can't find anything close in my QLEDR. This is in a medication list, so I have no clue what it is for and no dosage is given other than 1 tablet once a day. This is a cardiac patient with multiple cardiac diagnoses. No other past medical history listed. Any ideas? He spells the majority of his medications incorrectly and I have been able to find all except this one.
