Morning all!  Transcribing for ENT and she states:  She is status post right vocal cord biopsy on 11/15/07.  Pathology was s/l ja lot nalosis polyp.  She has a similar spot on the left anterior tonsillar fossa that we are following. 


I thought perhaps it was gel polyp...cannot find a definite either way.  Also looking for med Qtech? 


Thanks for your help!

Subject: ENT polyp removal surgery from vocal fold. sm for sentence pls. s/l formal surgical fashion.

Using formal surgical technique, complete excision of this lesion was performed while taking care to protect as much normal epithelium and underlying superficial lamina propria as possible


The FORMAL could also sound a little bit like funnel or fur-nel??  I don't think formal is right, but not sure what I am hearing.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm
Subject: how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!
