I was wondering if this is one diagnosis or 2 diagnoses.
1. RIGHT SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
2. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
The only reason I ask is because I was just released from QA and have never been so nervous in my life about making a mistake. My security blanket is gone..lol. I may be asking a lot of dumb questions for a while until I feel secure again..lol.

At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often. Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation states pt is on a half mg of something. For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg". I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words. Is the proper way to write this 12.5? (Does .5 equal a half mg?) Thanks!

Very rarely transcribe anything on echocardiograms so I'm not familiar with terms.
Echocardiogram performed August 4, 2006, does show normal left ventricular size of function without any valvular abnormalities. Ejection fraction of 55 to 60 percent. Cardiac cath performed August 3, 2006, 80 percent right coronary artery stenosis for which a drug-eluding stent was placed.
