Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from  hyperthyroid,  macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't.    Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30.  I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in.  So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing.  Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation.  So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.

Subject: I would make just a few changes -

If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:

1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.

2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).

3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.


Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.

BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?
