 This is exactly how the Dr. dictated it-- The patient is a plethoric, tremulous, dyspneac looking like a patient with chronic obstructive lung disease or sleep apnea. 
 Did she mean to leave the a out before plethoric? That would make more sense but I know you guys would no better than I. I'm still in school and learning. Thanks for the help! Please SM re lung disease
 Subject: Please SM re lung disease
 
 Sometimes an "uh" sounds very much like "a."
 
 Here is how I would transcribe it:  The patient is plethoric, tremulous, and dyspneic, looking like a patient with chronic obstructive lung disease or sleep apnea.
