Also, how much is it acceptable to change what he says.

It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

the HIM departmental budget. So basically when you're told to type verbatim, it means YOU get paid less. And even in the case of working for a private practice, the doctors don't give a hoot whether you expand abbreviations or not just as long as you get what they mean.
