leave it as one sentence withour a period.

The comma after compression is right, but take the second comma out after elicited.

And I think you should type 3rd and 4th as numbers.

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience.  Who are you?  How much experience do you actually have?  What kind of experience do you have?  How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?


You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it.  Come on!  Know your place.  Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

The standard now is to change cc to mL, but out of three accounts I work on, two want cc to stay as cc, and the other wants everything mL.

My experience
Subject: My experience

I work for a hospital doing transcription and when they switched us from hourly pay to productivity pay, I went from making a little over $14/hour to over $20 an hour!  It's funny, we all thought it was going to be a bad thing to switch and our bosses kept saying we think you all will be happy, wait and see.  They were right!  I do have medical/dental insurance thru them also, it was never based on my productivity whether or not I have insurance or not.

I'm diabetic, have been in the hospital and I don't have high high blood pressure. In fact, I have low blood pressure. You need to stop spouting off things like you are all knowing. Sheesh, what a goomba*!!

*Forget all the rest of the meanings of goomba, this is what a goomba really is: a goon, a goof, a kook, or poser who doesn't physically resemble a goomba from Mario Bros. but acts just like one. You know a true goomba when you see one.

I will put a blank or a timestamp for QA.  You really should never guess especially when the audio is broken up like that.  My advice would be send to QA or leave a blank with a comment that the dictation skipped.

Can you hear "1+ swelling?"

For the second, she might have misspeaked. It looks as if she took a stool sample for Hemoccult while doing the rectal exam. I'm thinking she might be saying (or meant to say) "Stool negative for Hemoccult." Then she goes into the urine dip.

1) Abdominal discomfort, especially over the epigastrium with some radiation to the upper chest.  Differentials include gastric etiology such as reflux disease, gastritis, (s/l wildair, wild bear, wilder) disease and a remote possibility of cardiac etiology.  


I really can't find anything close to this one.  Can you help?

Since they start out on the left side,
Subject: Since they start out on the left side,

I don't think this is logical. They start at the rectum, then meet the sigmoid (left colon), next transverse, then right (descending) colon, then cecum last.

But I'd be more comfortable with the term rigid sigmoidoscope than colonoscope. No way can a rigid instrument get all the way around, right?
