Most people mean to be helpful, but many provide incorrect answers which they believe are correct.

I think MTBot can get you there.

Believe it or not, after 20 years of this business this is totally new to me, first time I'm seeing it.  It's being dictated quite often as a routine test in the ER and my books just did not have it and I couldn't find it in my abbreviation book or online. 
Thanks for all the responses.

I did end up marking it for editing, but it should be interesting to find out what she said!

Subject: Thanks for the responses

I ended up asking my boss and she said to do it DOE, M.D., John.  It was interesting seeing the other responses though.  I kind of prefer the look of DOE, John, M.D. for some reason but I see the logic of the other way.  Anyway, I guess it comes down to preference.  Thanks again!

I guess I just have to deal with this little bump in the road for this one doc.  The others I do not have to listen so loud.  Fortunately, I have some cool headphones that are very easy to just grab hold of the bottom around my chin, and pull down ever so slightly.  Oh, what we go through to keep them happy!  Love these guys though, they are so easy to get along with!  This is an older gentleman anyway that his voice goes up and down, but I can say he blew his nose (which I am very used to, been there, done that), but hubby had to peel me off the ceiling.  It was like mid sentence.... HONK!!!  HONK!!!!, wheweee.....  gotta luv 'em.....

He was very clear and did say pound. I also thought it sounded a bit much and wondered if anyone else had ever heard it. The patient had a rash all over her body, so he may have prescribed that large amount for that reason.

I have had to deal with rude respones, if people are going to respond rudely, I agree with you, just don't bother. I work for an ENT and have never heard the word you were looking for.

Subject: Thanks for responses; but one thing

Thank you all for the responses.  My current job has converted to doing VR. There is no incentive program and we don't do line counting, so I have no idea what exactly my line rate would be.  I'm considering becoming an employee to a transcription service but IC is not out of the question for me.  I wonder if being an IC on a part-time basis may help gauge where I fall in my line count.

Your QA needs to do some research. SM
It is and always has been Steri-Strips. 
No, I know how to research, thank you.
Subject: No, I know how to research, thank you.

However, it's a verbatim account.  When QA and the doctor send it back to me telling me to do what they say, I do it no matter what my reference book or spellchecker say.  The physicians are the ones who are making up new words or combining things, not me.

But, how do you know the poster was speaking psychologically?  Really they should've typed the entire sentence for us readers, JMO.

diseases of the genitals, I get a lot of hits to porn sites.  Is that proper research?  We have no way of knowing whether the hits the OP got were investigated, so does that still count as research?   Maybe in your book, but not in mine.
ok...did more research...it's "pillar" sm
Subject: ok...did more research...it's "pillar" sm

Apparently in CTS release, "pillar pain" is common. Found this:
After surgery, the healing edges of the ligament beneath the skin are usually tender for at least four to six weeks after the procedure. Temporary tenderness on each side of the palm where the ligament is attached to the bones on each side of the palm to these bones is common after surgery and is called "pillar pain". This generally resolves gradually. Hand therapy is often helpful during recovery.

I'm doing a psychiatric consultation by an Asian dictator, and he says this patient has been living in s/l Fiocor House or ThreeCor House for the last several months due to alcohol and drug problems.  This is for one of my accounts in Michigan.  I can't understand this pronunciation well enough to get a good s/l for Google, so what would ya'll recommend doing to find this darned term?
My research confused me even more LOL.....
Subject: My research confused me even more LOL.....

He says ..... was captured in the ciliary sulcus. It s/l he says haptic but from my research I find that the haptic is in the sulcus. Never saying it is captured. The optic is captured in the bag. So I am a wee bit confused. Any help would be great. Thanks.

If this help is needed all that emergently you should practice putting the word in the subject line so the reader doesn't have to open up all these darn boxes.

You are not developing her research skills
Subject: You are not developing her research skills

Not to flame but how is she doing it "on her own" with a full critique done here in public.  And I'll ask again, why isn't her QA helping her in the way they want her trained or giving her links to document her answers so she can research.  One learns better when one does for themselves rather than being fed by the silver spoon.
Yeah, but I believe the OP did mention that research had been done...sm
Subject: Yeah, but I believe the OP did mention that research had been done...sm

The OP had used Google and found instances of both words being used. Sounds more like the OP was looking for some help with the proper usage of the word in the context of a report. I don't see why she (or he) caught any grief for asking for opinions on the proper term to use.
