Usually depends on the type of report
Subject: Usually depends on the type of report

While account specifics vary from hospital to hospital, I don't think I've had a hospital with an H&P that didn't require that you separate out the headings; discharge summaries, on the other hand, are usually allowed to be in paragraph form, and consults are a toss-up. Clinic/office notes are totally a matter of account specifics. When you get into specialty clinics, they sometimes break it down even further; i.e., an ENT doctor may separate out HEAD: EYES: EARS:, etc., and a neurologist may do MENTAL STATUS: CRANIAL NERVES: STRENGTH: REFLEXES, etc. However, in most cases, if the doctor uses headings in an exam for some of the systems/body parts, you usually are to use the appropriate ones for all; as noted, though, that is dependent on account specifics.

"Recently, he went to a massage parlor that was given by a woman and he said he had more than just a massage. He said that she performed a hand job on them. Basically, that was pretty much about it. She masturbated him with her hand and after that, he started to have some discomfort. He denies having any oral, vaginal, or anal sex with this person. He said that after all that, he said he started to get this discomfort."

I really don't know. It's a school assigned transcript looking for a I guess "Text Book" way of transcribing it. But all she dictates is
Pyscho was consulted. for her 'Hospital Course.' ... So I was confused at to whether leave it or expand.. but as I see what your saying.. because when I expand it those ways.. doesn't really make sense.. maybe they are wanting me to realized that and not expand but "" the report.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

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! 
Maybe this? What context is it used?

PPP syndrome could refer to MEN (multiple endocrine neoplasia), which "typically involves the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas glands (recall it as the PPP syndrome)."
