Can you give a sentence to put into context what he's talking about?
But basically, I'd say if the doc dictates it that way, I'd type it as 157 cm and 3/8 inch.
Sometimes we worry too much that there's a way of doing something, and we're missing it -- We have to quit torturing ourselves about this kind of thing -- I know, it's tough :).
But I've never heard of a way to type something like that, other than just figure out what would make sense and not muddy up the report.
In a case like this, just give them what they say. If they have a problem with it, they can clear it up and instruct someone on what exactly it is that they expect.

always used "bingeing" - I think because years ago "binging" wasn't accepted by my spellcheck, but "bingeing" was, so I've just stuck with it.

offered no context, such as whether this is a neurology report and what part of the body the patient is having symptoms in? If you put that in your subject line, then it will catch people's attention who type those reports.

Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm
Subject: Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm
Hard to change my ways anyway at this age.....*LOL* but we ARE the minority on this, as I have many people in my life in the business forever too. I took a formal MT class 26 years ago at a major teaching hospital (with branches all over this country) and this very issue came up, and they (the instructors) insisted that it is disk for eyes and disc for the spine. But, like most reasonable posters have already said, they are both acceptable in use. Again, it's always client preference. 
And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm
Subject: And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm
Demographics have TONS to do with that - I remember in 1980 - where I live had TONS of elderly (now deceased) so the first years of me doing MT work, the very elderly are usually in hospitals with these kinds of problems. But now where I live, median age is 38!!!
Hence, it doesn't fit the bill any longer, and demographics have changed so drastically in the USA the past 30 years and especially the last 10 years that these statements of hers aren't cutting it.
Oh well, with the cute icon popping bubble gum of hers and it is a very cute emoticom, a grown woman in her 40s-50s-60s I do not think would usually choose an emoticom like that one - perhaps she is very, very young, and we cannot fault her for being a baby. She'll grow up one day and realize it all on her own, IF she opens up her eyes.

I agree that we need more context. However, newbies don't realize this and deserve our patience.

The doctor is saying the "rest of the review of systems are negative." Shouldn't it be "rest is negative." ?? Or is rest considered pleural? Help me, I can't think today!!

Colorectal today...
Subject: Colorectal today...
She has a history of rectal prolapse and had ____water placed and there was some question if the ____water perforated her vagina creating a rectovaginal fistula.
It sounds like he is saying "tertiary" but that does not make sense. I read somewhere that warm water is sometimes used to reduce a prolapse but I'm not coming up with a word for "warm" even in the thesaurus that sounds like that.
Thanks for the help! You all are very dependable!

Wonder if it's a doctor I actually went to who referred to carotid ultrasounds as "poopey grams" because to him they're not worth the paper they're written on.
