Atacort for blood pressure? sm
Subject: Atacort for blood pressure? sm

The doctor clearly says Atacort for blood pressure problems and even spells it. He's dictating the history given by the patient. It's a psych report, so not relevant to other areas of the report. I found Atacand, but they don't even sound or look alike.



I'll probably just flag it, but any help would be appreciated.

Blood pressure readings -sm
Subject: Blood pressure readings -sm

The doctor clearly states: Blood pressure in the field was 180 over palp, later 112/124, and then later 188 over palp.

Does the 112/124 sound correct? It is clearly stated, but I think he may be stating it incorrectly. Has anyone heard of a reading like this?

Thank you.
