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!

Surgical question.
Subject: Surgical question.

Okay here are the procedures...


1.  Repair of FDP tendon.


2.  Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.


3.  Repair of pulley tendon.


4.  Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)


5.  Repair of A4 pulley.


I am then hearing in the narrative summary:


The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture.  This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair.  However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.


Purchased is the word I am questioning??


surgical question
Subject: surgical question

Yep, it's purchased. Just means a good hold in the tissues.
