The rushed pronunciation sounds like it could be supraclavicular with something else on the end, sounding similar to supraclavic-a-tory adenopathy???

I am typing a letter to a claims manager, and doc states

"He does have a deposition coming to s/l furlation in the near future.

Thanks for any help - I can't seem to think today

How do I address the letter/envelope when MD dictates that the letter is to go to:  (Drs Max, Jones, Smith, and Brown.)  All of these MDS work in the same office together. 

I need help formating this the correct way.  Thanks.

Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.

q.6 h. (every 6 hours)

In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.

every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription.  So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period.  Thanks.

You can use semicolon. In 2004, 225 pounds; 2005, 242 pounds; 2006, 267 pounds; 2007, 258 pounds; 2008, 255 pounds.

Is this useful?

Hello, I am writing a letter and doc wants me to list this info as a chart in the letter? In 2004 225 pounds, 2005 242 pounds, 2006 267 pounds, 2007 258 pounds, 2008 255 pounds.  How what I format that?

I am thinking....

In: 

2004  225 pounds

2005  242 pounds

etc?  However, it would not be double spaced for some reason it keeps doing it on here?

If it is business correspondence, I would use the person's "official" first name. If it is a personal letter, I would use the nickname.

If you're not sure, I would advise leaving it blank.

JMHO

My MD dictated a letter of recommendation and would like me to make him sound better.  Gosh!!  I am so brain dead when it comes to these things... been doing verbatim transcription for far toooo long. 

Would anyone out there like to give this a whirl? 

I appreciate any suggstions.  Thanks.

Mr. X spent a week with me in my internal medicine office this past summer.  He is currently a student at XX University and has decided on a career in a medicine.  Mr. X, in the process of starting his medical career, has spent time with multiple physicians to show that he is serious about a career in medicine.  Mr X has excellent personal skills, as you will see when you interview him.  He asked intelligent questions and showed a genuine interest while he was here with me in the office.  His thought process seemed both logical and rational during our discussions.

Mr. X  has all the makings of a good physician, intelligence, hardworking, motivated, and personal.  I recommend highly that he be accepted in your training to become an xxx  physician.

The studies demonstrated carotid artery disease but, also, she has a platelet count of 1004 k per cmm and persistent reduction in her hemoglobin and hematocrit at 9.4 and 31.5.

Does anyone know how to format this?  I can't find the K at all in relation to these values, but doc is  clearly saying,  1004 K per cmm.  thank you.

This was 250 pounds, (s/l gross volume to) body mass index of about 40.

Thanks I tried Google but stuck and sick today, can't take much more of  sitting here today.

I never usually have to type letters so I am unsure of the format.  Are we supposed to type the "Sincerely," and are we supposed to indent it? 

Thanks!
