pt is scheduled for a "colectomy takedown and reanastomosis" I guess I'll leave it as she says it. I thought maybe she could have been using the wrong term and meant "colostomy takedown" or it could have been "colectomy, takedown, and reanastomosis" like the pt was going to have another colectomy.


Thanks so much for the help! And just in time, too, I'm just about to send in the report. Much appreciated!

Yeah. I know. 21 of the 25 doctors I routinely transcribe are ESL. It's challenging, to say the least. I was just hoping that someone would recognize the sounds. (I know that sometimes I can, even when reading what someone else heard.)

I know how that is. It's weird that some docs expect you to go against common rules. The BOS says use of actual numbers should be used exclusively but at times to use your own judgement. But, even common English rules say not to spell out numbers above 10. Now, capitalizing generic medicines is just plain crazy. But you do what they ask, no matter how ignorant. :-) Been there, done that.

Subject: dip? (slang?) SM

The dictator says "dip" in the social history (see sentence below). I think this is slang for something but I am so not cool and I'm not sure what it is. My DH thinks it might be chew tobacco?
 
"She quit smoking over 30 years ago. She did "dip" up until 1 year ago. There is no alcohol or drug use."

TIA!

Dr. says "Penrose s/l dc'ed today."
