type as dictated, or change it to "pants" ? My first instinct was to look up the word "pantalones" online to make sure I spelled it correctly, and type as dictated. Then I thought, for clarity (and future readers of the note who might not speak Spanish - though I think you could figure out what is meant by reading the report), should I change it to "pants" ? She does say "pantalones" in kind of a "cute" way. She also yawns loudly at the end, so maybe she's a little loopy.  LOL Opinions?

Yep, it is a clinic report and the clinic does not want abbreviations spelled out. In samples of their reports I was given h.s. was never spelled out, however, I could not find one that stated q.h.s. so I was unsure of the space. Thanks for your help.

If the patient could see anything at all (I had one today where the patient could see 20/1760), then the MD would have given the value, but when there is nothing there, you just type nothing. I have a verbatim account, but even if I didn't, I still would not change it to 20/0 as that lone "0" could be mistaken as something else.

The examination of the cervical spine showed limited extension, which is painful, as well as limited lateral rotation, which is also painful. Flexion is very limited due to pain.
s/l Axillary is positive at approximately C5 on the right in the cervical paraspinous region.
It isn't very clear and really sounds more like axilony (does not s/l he's saying axial nerve). Axillary is the only thing that makes sense to me. Does anyone know if there's another possibility? Thanks :)
