Could that be right? Or do you think dictator means urethral? Talking about vesicoureteral reflux in a male.
Thanks!!!

meatus/meati
Subject: meatus/meati
Does anyone have an opinion on what the plural of meatus is? Most of my ENT doctors specifically state "meati" and one 1 form that I received as an example from the ENT office was transcribed as "meati."

If you Google ureteral meatus with vesicoureteral reflux, you can read about it. We don't have the benefit of the whole sentence or paragraph so we know where he is, actually. This condition affects the kidneys, but hypospadias can go with it, so next thing you know they are talking about the urethral meatus. One quick clue would be whether he says right or left. Normally when talking about the ureters, they will say right, left or bilateral early on in the report. It's all about paying attention and knowing where they are. But do Google and read about it so you understand the condition so you'll know next time.

If the patient could see anything at all (I had one today where the patient could see 20/1760), then the MD would have given the value, but when there is nothing there, you just type nothing. I have a verbatim account, but even if I didn't, I still would not change it to 20/0 as that lone "0" could be mistaken as something else.

I leave most of his stuff as is even though the account is not verbatim. A lot of times I end up wondering WTH he is talking about. When I first got his dictations I was going back to read and relisten because I thought I must have scrambled something. Give them what they dictate, if they don't like what they read maybe they'll take the time to think before they dictate next time.
