Subject: The doc dictates under ROS, GU: The patient denies issues with polyuria POLYPHASIA, or polydipsia..

is this correct?  POLYPHASIA????  Isn't POLYPHAGIA having to do with eating/swallowing?  I can't find anything in google relating to urination or GU system.....


  Thanks in advance!!

Help. Patient has polyuria.  Doctor dictates: Urine osmolality and electrolytes pending.

Need Help with MS Word Issues on Headers & Footers
Subject: Need Help with MS Word Issues on Headers & Footers

 


Hello troops! 


Problem with header/footer. I have created a MS Word template that has both a header and a footer that should appear on page 1 only. My problem is that when I have to go on to page 2, I have to manually delete both the Page 2 header and footer. Any help? 


When I was learning how to do the headers and footers, it said that to have the header and footer appear only on page 1, you should - when going onto to a second page, do a section break when starting page 2; then you can use the header/footer menu feature "link to previouis" (or rather, you actually want to "unlink" the page 2 header from the page 2 header (and likewise for the footer). But when I do this, I still have to go into the header (and then the footer), highlight the text, and delete it.  I'm trying to figure it out so I can just type the document and not have to worry about deleting the page 2 header, etc.


Thanks much.


Dave

If the patient could see anything at all (I had one today where the patient could see 20/1760), then the MD would have given the value, but when there is nothing there, you just type nothing. I have a verbatim account, but even if I didn't, I still would not change it to 20/0 as that lone "0" could be mistaken as something else.

I leave most of his stuff as is even though the account is not verbatim.  A lot of times I end up wondering WTH he is talking about.  When I first got his dictations I was going back to read and relisten because I thought I must have scrambled something.  Give them what they dictate, if they don't like what they read maybe they'll take the time to think before they dictate next time.
