help new to ortho reports
Subject: help new to ortho reports

Can a person have full finger flexion at the volar wrist?

This is just a statement made in the Objective portion of the report. She is stating he has full dorsiflexion, palmar flexion and radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. THen goes on to say "finger flexion at the volar wrist irriation with clicking"

This is not a verbatim account and she is somewhat scatterbrained sometimes so you have to fill in the blanks at times.
Tenses in reports

Do the majority of y'all change tenses when the docs dictate them incorrectly?  Normally I'm inclined to, but there are times when I question it.  Of course, my pet peeve is dictating a surgery that already happened, yet everything is present tense!


In this case, here's what I'm questioning: 


The patient was evaluated previously, and a left inguinal hernia is reducible.


Thanks in advance!
