"He is here because he states his heart rate is irregular. He felt a little bit of wooziness from it due to the lightheadedness. We checked the hemoglobin which has dropped a little bit since the last visit to 12.8. MCV is 89. Normal platelets. Patient had s/l  lines in the summer. An antibiotic was called in for 21 days. Patient states it did not bother his stomach but it made his heart beat a little bit harder."

We're not on the beach.  We're here to support and try to help one another in our quest to be good transcriptionists.  End of story.  I bet the administrator e-mailed her and told her she is not supposed to ask test questions and does not need you tattling.  It doesn't matter where I stand, I just don't believe in being a squeaky wheel to get attention and be a brown-noser!  I may be wrong, but I don't believe we make gains that way.  Take care....

Those are the closest words to what he says (even though I clearly hear a 'T' sound), but I have no idea if those would go with a diganosis of cryptococcal meningitis.  It really sounds like he is saying de-ser-ti-a, but he is ESL.

I don't think I would want to type that in my report like that. I will have to have to see what the Vac part stands for and find out if I can substitute the real words for that abbreviated slang. But yup, that's what the ESL must have meant, though I think he said it with the word air in there.

you may be right in the Cor Status:  Full Cor if is is in reference to a code status.  I've heard some unusual things dictated in reference to code status and maybe that's how that account refers to it?  That's why I was wondering if there was anything to indicate he was talking about code status.
