Lung disease
Subject: Lung disease
This is exactly how the Dr. dictated it-- The patient is a plethoric, tremulous, dyspneac looking like a patient with chronic obstructive lung disease or sleep apnea.
Did she mean to leave the a out before plethoric? That would make more sense but I know you guys would no better than I. I'm still in school and learning. Thanks for the help!

a few hints for you - when doing the objective
Subject: a few hints for you - when doing the objective
findings, when doc says, for instance, "In general, the patient is..." you are putting that under the "general" subheading, so you don't need to repeat the "in general" part - meaning it would just be GENERAL: The patient is....
same with the skin exam that you have there - if doc is saying "skin is warm and dry," and you are putting it under the "skin" subheading, it should just be "SKIN: Warm and dry" ...and so on.
also, in the HEENT section, it should be "sclerae" and "conjunctivae" - doc is referring to the plural form here.
Does that make sense? This is the way it's usually done, but you'll need to follow the instructions you've been given, of course.
