Body temperature
Subject: Body temperature

Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7.  (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain).  This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s.  Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s.  Am I missing something here?  Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about?  So far I've flagged them as blanks.


Thanks!

PROCEDURE NOTE:  The patient was prepped in sterile fashion with Betadine.  He was given 1 cc of 2% Lidocaine without epinephrine for anesthesia.  A sterile glove and prep was used throughout.  He did have a #11 blade incise approximately ½ inch wound with a large amount of pus.  This was drained and loculations were also broken up and drained.  He tolerated the procedure well without complication.  He was packed with approximately 4 cm of Iodoform gauze, which is ½ inch.  He tolerated this well.  Sterile dressing as well as KLING was placed on this.  He was advised to strictly keep this dry until tomorrow when he is reevaluated.
