Decubiti/Pressure Ulceration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Discussion:
- sacral, ischial, trochanteric, and heel ulcerations are most common;

You might have John Doe, M.D. in the address info, but doctor dictates "Dear Johnny." Is this what you mean? If that's the case, I would type it as he says it, as he may have a friendly relationship with him in addition to his professional relationship.
On the other hand, if he's dictating a personal nickname, like "Puddin", you should probably use the other name. :)
