I can't put the haptic as being "captured" and in the "sulcus," just that the optic is "captured" and the "haptic" in the sulcus...I think my brain hurts now.

is that "symmatric" should be "symmetric," a very common term.

Also your "Intact relflexy in purse" may be "intact reflexes in pursestrings." Difficult to determine without listening myself.
They usually say "normal sensory examination to light touch" not "a light touch."

I have a dictator that dictated in two different reports.. "No CVA angle tenderness." and the same dictator in another report states "No CV angle tenderness." I am confused as to which is the correct way ?

Always go by your company policy and produces. My company states:
"when the manufacturer uses all capitals, use an initial capital only so as not to give undue attention to the term in a medical report..."

When is Staphylococcus not capital? This is confusing me.
I always thought Staphyloccocus was capitalized until on my QA I was told different, but can't find the reason and it's been a while since this happened. Now it bothers me not knowing how to determine whether I'm capitalizing it when its not supposed to be. Can you help me with this? Thanks

Yeah, there are. But
Subject: Yeah, there are. But
"Are you kidding? Does not deserve an answer." sounds more like specific question related rather than too many posts related.

Subject: OHH yeah that does help. She did say
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 blanked it. Will report back if anyone cares.

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.
oh, yeah that's it.!? Thanks nm

Subject: Yeah, I don't see how it's an abdl CT
and it's showing the sacrum, so I wonder if it's really a CT of the pelvis. Docs can be really sloppy about dictating the names of procedures, which can make it harder on billing.
