Knee arthritis
Subject: Knee arthritis

I tried to post this earlier so if it is a duplicate please excuse me!  In reference to knee arthritis the doctor says it is more lateral compartment than medial but it is tri-compartment.  Should that be tricompartment or tri-compartment?

optic or haptic?

optic/haptic
Subject: optic/haptic

I don't exactly know what you are asking.  If the question is regarding what he meant and you have any question, flag it and send it to your Q.A. or whereever you send reports with blanks.  Not a good idea to try to "correct" the doc's dictation and an even worse idea to guess.

Doctor dictates "The patient did have a urethral stricture lasered in the office."


I don't think lasered is an appropriate word, is it acceptable to change the sentence to this?


The patient did have a urethral stricture corrected with laser in the office.


Or should I just use lasered as he dictated?  Thanks.  :)
