Subject: s/l mestakin-type discoloration
REASON FOR VISIT: s/l mestakin-type discoloration.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient underwent left breast modified radical mastectomy in November of 2008. She had been doing well, however she sought physical therapy/occupational therapy for left chest discomfort. She had one treatment and subsequently noted a brownish discoloration of the skin.
I definitely hear the -type discoloration just can't get the first word.
TIA!

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
