Diagnoses #1 and #2 sound like they might be both referring to the left knee. #3 sounds like a new thought process to me. My guess on this would be contingent on how the dictation sounded. Is the dictator pausing between 1 and 2? Numbering 1 and 2? If he isn't, my thought would be this:
1. Left knee lateral meniscus tear; osteochondral defect.
2. Right knee degenerative joint disease.

First to address the issue of subcu - Joint Commission created a list several years ago that deals with this wording - and JC trumps BOS. From Joint Commissions List of Dangerous Abbreviations:
Abbreviation: S.C. or S.Q. (for subcutaneous)
Potential Problem: Mistaken as SL for sublingual, or "5 every"
Preferred Term: Write "Sub-Q", "subQ", or "subcutaneously"
As far as what the man was trying to express to you was his opinion that truncated words (partial words used to express a complete word) should be avoided. Trach is not a word. Trachea, tracheostomy, etc., are words. Alk is not a word. Alkaline is a word. There are also lab and other words that are commonly acceptable in their abbreviated form, such as INR, CPAP, MRI, etc.
There are acceptable abbreviations of certain words that are commonplace. For example, lab is widely accepted to represent laboratory. Exam is acceptable to represent examination. HIV is another example.
If you understand the difference between the use of an abbreviation and avoiding the use of truncated words, your work will reflect a much clearer intent of the dictation.
Your company needs to decide which side of the fence it wants to sit on, and it appears there may be some changes in your QA future. If this man is in charge of QA and you want to continue working there, you might want to begin taking note of what he is saying.

This is 1 of many definitions from an "URBAN" dictionary: MACK
mack is a flexible word as a verb; it can be used in pretty much any situation and its meaning will be understood.
Thus, in your case, maybe the dictator chose the word mack as slang for height?.....because 23.5 cm is equal to 9.25 inches. I used this as an example, as I believe you were referring to dietary in a Parkinson patient?....Wish I could assist more.

Another issue is There is minimal erythema of the incus of the right drum. However, it doesn't sound like incus...sounds like she is saying enos. Not stumbling over the dictation, but just doesn't sound like incus. Thanks!
