you learn overnight. There are terms, abbreviations, words that sound so much alike, etc., etc. Give it some time, and then decide if this is right for you. Take criticism objectively not personally. Research and find sample reports of physical exams, operative reports, progress notes, whatever you can get. There is a lot of great help on this board, take note of helpful websites and study, study, study. This is not a job that you can jump into and expect to know everything, it does take excellent hearing, grammar, patience and persistence.

Don't worry about it, have had many days like that, and I have been doing this 30+ years. Yesterday I could not get anything right. Happens to us all, and it does make sense later. I have looked at a lot of these word-help emails, and there are several that I had no clue on but always good to learn new things even at my old age.

I'm sorry ahead of time. Yesterday was awful and today only seems worse :( This is probably so obvious but because I am getting anxious, I can not hear anything now! The doctor says "... coughing, which initially was thought to be nonproductive but now (s/l livid) some productive sputum." Any help would be so greatly appreciated, and please don't laugh too hard! I may hear and get my feelings hurt. LOL

Subject: AAA repair. Please see message for stupid sentence!
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Talent endovascular graft with a "36 20 155" left main body and a "14 20 90 right limb with a P 50 10" Palmaz stent placed across the aortic seal zone.
Not sure how to type the number sequences:
He dictates "36 20 155" and
"14 20 90" right limb with a "P 50 10"
I have no idea if he means 36 x 20 x 155 or what!
Thanks!
