Subject: verbatim acct help

General surgeon talking about frozen section pathologic exam of squamous cell carcinoma lesion. First frozen section came back with positive margins so he went back to excise a second specimen which he submitted S/L "on fos" with the new margin up. This is a verbatim account and this dictator is on 100% QA (all reports) since he is so SPECIAL. I referenced the other reports in his MD data base and found "en Fos" which would have been put there by QA before the report was signed off to the hospital. I can't find this anywhere and was wondering if anybody has a clue?

and we are told we can change sentence structure...however, whether i'm told that or not, i correct to proper English, including tenses, etc. Verbatim is never really absolutely verbatim, no matter what anyone says. You must use common sense. The bottom line is to be careful that you never change the intended meaning.

We're not allowed to do that even with surgery. Plus, docs usually say, for instance, 2:30 position or at 2:30.

Does this sentence make sense to any of you?  This is a disability and he it sounds like he is saying jaw?  but why would that be under cardiorespiratory?


CARDIO-RESPIRATORY: He has no signs of cardiac abnormalities, no claudication, no chest pain, or numbness of the jaw. 


Could it be something else?  Please give it a try!

My primary acct is a verbatim but am allowed to make grammatical corrections as long as it does not change the meaning. One of my docs dictated *monna releaser*. After getting my laugh for the day, I typed *I am going to release her*....this one was not an ESL. Gotta getta good laugh once in a while to keep sanity....

I think I have come to that conclusion, also.  There is just too much for me to try to fix it all.  I'm not sure I would even know where to begin.  There is just so much garbage...  Thanks for verifying my thoughts, though.... :)

Would this be actual "verbatim" transcription or correct, per BOS? What would vertaim be when you have to type exactly what they say even if it is not proper? I think that is what the OP was asking. Now I am curious.

PPD is a test for tuberculosis.  You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor.  You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.


That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.
