I usually would type 2-5, but my client doesn't want numbers 1-10 to be spelled out.

Subject: it depends on the dictators preference
I work in a hospital and they voted x2 as an unacceptable abbreviation. We currently have to spell it out. We also have to spell out q as every, qid as four times daily, bid as two times daily and so on and so on. I would ask the dictator or your QA person before making a final decision.

My previous company had us leave the names out unless they were pertinent to the patient's care such as a caretaker. I.e. Dictated: Patient's wife, Susan, stated that. Transcribed: Patient's wife stated that. I would ask your QA about that to be sure though.

I have been specializing in OPs for several years, (done everything else!), and love it, but we have doctors (have a few hospitals), who will give related system diagnoses and went them in one paragraph form with commas, as you wrote. But then, I have others that specify everything numbered. According the BOS from long ago, in Ops when listing diffent diagnoses, number them, but our rule from our company (owned by an MD!) is that, if they dictate in paragraph form, write it so, and if they dictate "numbered diagnoses," then put in numbered list fashion. Does that make any sense to you? Do you have account specifics for this doctor??

the company will be longer than the TAT for the MT. In other words, the company may have 24 hours to get the report turned around, but when they give it to the MT, the MT may only have 2 hours. I've been accustomed to a 2-hour TAT with the nationals I've worked for.

Or how much they expect you to correct. I used to transcribe for a doctor who did the worst run-on sentences and sometimes I would rack my brains trying to figure out where to put punctuation without changing what she said (the account was verbatim except for obvious grammatical errors like subject-verb agreement). Finally I decided, if that's the way she wants to say it, that's what she is going to get. I just made sure that what she was saying made some reasonable kind of sense. She was also notorious for changing her mind half a dozen times in a single sentence, and for not reading her reports before approving them. She once dictated a hysterosalpingogram (test to see if the fallopian tubes are blocked) and let the following impression go out to the requesting physician:
IMPRESSION: Bilateral tubal pregnancy.
instead of
IMPRESSION: Bilateral tubal patency.
(No, I didn't type it!)

In general, we are to write out the term in full the first time it is dictated for clarification. Then, if abbreviations are dictated later on, it is okay to use the abbreviation. Again, you must abide by account specifics. Ask your QA person to be sure.

Some of the verbatim accounts allow for medical jargon, so if in the body of the report they said he was given 2 amps of bicarb, I would probably just leave it at amps. If this was in a medication list, as on admission or discharge, I would probably write it out as ampule(s).

If they don't, I would change the tense to whatever is the norm for that account or that doctor.
If they do require verbatim, I would type it verbatim but let the QA preson know that the doctor had shifted tenses.
But that's just me....

with no BOS wanted per the client, regular accounts who do use BOS and others that do not want it, and others that "just type what I say." So, like I said, refer to your account specifics.

hardcore verbatim you have to leave it as is, whether it looks ugly or not. I know, I really don't like it when they abbreviate left and right, leave words off sentence structures so they can speak faster and get it over with.

In steadman ortho, the only time it refers to draw test is a foot/ankle test for subtalar motion. Otherwise, they only have drawer test, not draw. I have never heard draw used for the knee, and I have been doing ortho for about 6 years now.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.
