Subject: Unfortunately, it stars with a "p" for certain...

and on top of that, she seems annoyed at the the patient for not understanding English. At any rate, it is definitely a "P", but thanks to all of you. What a way to start the day - teensy wound care reports or ESL students who do not know how to pronounce meds and other words. She doesn't even state her name and she is dictating for someone else. Grrrrrrrrr.  Thanks for your help, though - much appreciated as always.  :)

to move questions from one board to the other, why can't the replies go too.  It seems a waste of time to answer and then have it moved and all the replies gone, especially if the OP has not seen the replies yet.

In response to your question, subtalar = ankle/foot, so unless the pt. has foot problems also, that's probably not it. What about subscapular?

I believe Wlmom had this same question a while back.  Has anyone who lives in Maine or works on an account in Maine know of a s/l McGeachie psychiatric hospital or maybe even a unit within a hospital named McGeachie?

True, it is in all what you are allowed or not
Subject: True, it is in all what you are allowed or not

allowed to do. However, at one of the first hospitals I worked for (back in the early 80s) for example, we had a doctor who was constantly using abbreviations which we were not allowed to do in diagnosis. I will NEVER forget this. His diagnosis was "P.M.S.O.B." The transcriptionist, of course, changed this in the diagnosis to read "Shortness of breath at night." He flew off the handle - this abbreviation meant "poor, miserable, son of a B****" and that is what he wanted in the chart. It was referred to the Hospital Director who told our department manager that even though this was definitely not correct, he dictated it and wanted it there and there was not much we could do about it if we wanted to keep our jobs. This is a lesson that taught me never to second guess a physician. Granted this was not at all politically correct (we didn't have that term back then), but that is what he wanted, so I don't change anything in that vein - I may question it and flag it for the higher ups, but I don't change it.

It would look weird without a heading.  Thanks. 
I am allowed to edit and correct
Subject: I am allowed to edit and correct

I am allowed to make changes to what he says, which is why I asked the question. I am allowed to edit and change what the doctor says and how he says it - and I do a lot of that in the course of the day because some of the things he says are just a mess. "Retarded" did seem a little derogatory to me and I think I will put it in better terms than that.

I guess it comes down to what the rules are that you work by - whether you can edit or if you are verbatim. If it was verbatim I wouldn't have questioned it (even thought I personally feel it is insulting) but since I have the option to change it, I was just wondering what the correct term was now because I know it keeps changing. Thanks for all the opinions!

Subject: Thanks...that option is not allowed as my account is verbatim...

I put the word in as dictated with quotes around it and then sent it off to QA. I noticed later that they just deleted it and put a blank and sent it through without the word. Yet one more reason why I hate being on verbatim accounts!
