is he's saying the screening is negative for O+ blood cells. Is this a test being done for paternity or a legal matter?

A doc wouldn't ever say "percussion tenderness" when referring to extremities would they? I've heard it when referring to abdomen or spine. I'm totally reaching and would love to hear what they are saying...such a mystery!

I am by no means telling you not to leave a blank, it all depends on your company. I have always been told if you know that is what the doctor means, especially if it is verified later in the report, then you may put what you know is correct. I hate, hate, hate to leave blanks when I know what it is. If you can, ask QA for verification if nothing else. Sorry couldn't be more helpful!

Subject: I would make just a few changes -
If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:
1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.
2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).
3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.
Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.
BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?

The company MedicAlert (1 word) has a trademark emblem/bracelet; that is the most common one used. But, there's an org in Canada, Med-Alert, that supplies medical alert bracelets, and another, 911MedAlert, that I found. If any of that helps! :)

Certainly, if there is any kind of stricture or lesion that might improve his nutritional status, this certainly could lead to his improved comfort and increased survival.
The pt has dysphagia and has lost weight, so doc is sending him to an ENT physician.

This patient is returning for followup after a left carotid endarterectomy.
The doctor says:
My impression is that the patient has s/l failed to the left carotid endarterectomy, and the right side has 50-79% stenosis, which is asymptomatic.
Both sides have 50-79% stenosis...............................THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

Thank you!

It would make a lot of sense given that she is elevating her hand. I tried those keywords you gave and still pulling up nothing. However, it really sounds like she is dictating "Carter pillow" but I had never heard of one before so I really wanted to double check. That most likely has to be it but I'm still debating putting a blank. I'll listen a few more times and most likely use that. Thanks so much! :)

On exam, he dictates, "No focal motor or neurological s/l os."
