There were three other places in the dictation that I could not understand what he was saying.

After I deciphered the 'alert and oriented' (with your gracious help), I went back to the other three. Bingo. It was like a mumble-jumble-decipher puzzle piece placed itself in my head, and I figured out the other three.

I love puzzles.

Thanks again!

If the patient's fever does not DEPRAVEST on antibiotics, then further assessment such as CT scan of the sinuses and thorax may be needed. 


I cannot find a word that fits, but it sounds clear as DEP-RA-VEST.  Any ideas?

crazy number question
Subject: crazy number question

The company I work for does not want us to use numbers and numbers should never be used at the beginning of a sentence, but does anyone know the AAMT-true style that this should be transcribed?  I know this is a crazy question, but for some reason, I can't seem to categorize it.


Example: 


"School grade: 5th.


Members in family: 5. "     OR


"School Grade:  Fifth.


Members in family:  Five." 


I am thinking the second, but then again, I am not thinking.   :-)

Subject: crazy observation here, but could he be describing...sm

the sound of the puffs being administered, instead of staying 1 "puff" b.i.d., he's saying something that sounds like the med being administered?  I know that sounds dumb, but that's what comes to my mind.

I know, it sounds crazy...  This is a new urology account for me, and the doc is REPEATEDLY saying the following, taken directly from the notes:


(Problem of interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain) -- 'She did not use the Valium vaginal suppositories.  She had days when she felt quite well....'


(Problem of IC again) -- 'Prescribed Valium 10 mg vaginal suppositories...' 


(Problem IC and pelvic floor tension myalgia) -- She stopped her Valium vaginal suppositories, which she states are at a dose of 10 mg of Valium with 25 mg of amitriptyline and has felt much better since. 


 


I can't find a Valium vaginal suppository anywhere, people!  Any of you know about anything like this?  I imagine that if you've got a stressed vagina, that would be as good of a cure as any, but I haven't heard of it yet.  Any ideas? 


Yes! Those two things drive me crazy!
Subject: Yes! Those two things drive me crazy!

It always used to be tendonitis, now the change.


And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?


When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.
