What should I do if the doctor dictates, and didn't say to use quotes, ...patient says she still feels like sh**.  ??!!   The word even came up on the spell checker!   I feel nervous about leaving the word there.  I wonder if I should leave it as a blank.   The account is not verbatim.  Just looking for some suggestions.  I haven't had this happen before in 20+ years as an MT!
Swear words
Subject: Swear words

I am a Christian and I am not comfortable typing the F word. I don't use that kind of language in my everyday speech; why should I keyboard it? I just type "the patient said 'F--- you'." If the hospital wants to change it, they can. I get a lot of this because I do psych. Sometimes the docs even use the F word. I want to send them a defi saying, "Do you eat with that mouth?"

However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for.  The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS.  Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)
