QA question ~ sm

I just typed a report where the doctor said 84-year-old lady, but then proceeded to say "he" and "him" throughout the report. I have no way of knowing by the patient's name whether it is a man or a woman. Should I change all the male references to female or flag it for QA? We have been told that QA is backed up and don't want to add to it because I also have a report that defintely needs to go to QA. Any advice? TIA
