Subject: I tend to go with whatever they say first, like
if they start out saying something like *eyes were anicteric* then I go with past tense the rest of the way no matter what. Just easier for me to remember. My account is not verbatim, though.

Still, it would be wise to flag the doctor and let him put the final word.
