Dictated:  heart rate in the "1 teens to 120s" How do I write 1 teens?  If I write 110s is that correct since the teens don't start till 13?  Why can't they just keep it stupid simple?

vital signs
Subject: vital signs

When a doctor dictates the vital signs with only the values and no headings, does anyone fill in headings or do you just give them what they dictated.  For example, they say VITAL SIGNS:  110/80, 72, 20, 97.9.

If the dictator is talking about a Holter monitor or an event monitor, then you are correct with transmission. When the patient notices an "event", they press a button and this triggers a transmission report.

exactly what she is referring to before making the decision to transcribe bilateral.  She may mean bimalleolar (ankle) edema.  If that were the case, bilateral ankle edema is very different than bimalleolar edema, which would mean 1 foot versus 2.  If you can leave it blank and get a response back, that is the best idea.
