Is that right?  Typing on account that I am not usually on and not familair with this doctor?  TIA

Bilateral inguinal hernia is right graded and left - s/l plus 1 plus 1 is show benign. Help!

1. Local was infiltrated under the external oblique and then the external oblique was opened and the (?trex-i-vus?) fibers through the external ring.

2. This was brought to lie with the mesh overlying the pubic tubercle a good 2cm. This was anchored in the pubic tubercle with a (?sounds like no no-ah-fill or Novafill?)

3. verbatim: The patient was placed in supine position on the operating table (?sounds like minute?) given IV sedation his groin was prepped with Betadine and (? sounds like eye-sid--doesn't sound like iced?) with sterile towels and a transfer sheet.

4. (?En-er-up-tids?) were placed in the Scarpa's fascia and the skin was closed with staples.

Thanks to those who helped me this morning!

patient has a hx of a right inguinal sprain

He was given a soft-tissue injection. He went to orthopedics and is in a wheelchair now.

Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"?  I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated.  For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale.  HELP!  I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!

Thanks!

Help please.

Is it readmitted or re-admitted?

Is it 24 hour or 24-hour?

The soft tissue and the bowel lumen measures [would you change to measure] 8 cm in length and has [then change to have] a 6 x 3.5 cm margin of the colostomy deep to the subcutaneous tissue.

Or would you just leave this as dictated.......

Does this make sense:

Doctor says, "This will allowist for him to be more aware of whether grogginess is associated..."

ALLOWIST?  is the question.

Thanks.

Dr. states. "I myself personally use drug-X."

or is it myself, personally?

Or leave out one or the other?

This is a verbatim account.

TIA!!

Okay, I have a really "$tupid" question....on this phrase "including but not limited to" how should the formatting be?  would there be commas?  is it "including, but not limited to," or as typed above?

Thanks so much for your help!!

I am a 42-year veteran MT, supervisor and QA but also did a stint in an insurance defense law firm for about four years in the 1980s.  I reviewed medical records for the firm and boy were my eyes opened then about some very questionable medical transcription!  Oh, by the way, no question is ever stupid in my book--just people, in general, who do not ask when necessary!

Your second version is correct, "including, but not l limited, to."  If you take the 'commaed' portion out and then read it, you should still have a complete sentence.

Happy Saturday!
