is it okay to put many blanks throughout the document if I'm not exactly sure what he is saying and some things he says make absolutely no sense? (sometimes 2 per paragraph in places) Is it okay to put a blank so he checks that word to make sure its right? these are 9 page long psych reports. It's not cut and dried medical terms and phrases. I'm thinking I should put blanks just to make sure it's right instead of typing what i think he is saying. what do you do
?

I agree with the other post. I have leaving blanks, but sometimes you have to. You absolute cannot guess at something. It is better to leave a blank than to guess, otherwise it is a bad reflection on you as an transcriptionist to try to guess and then have it be wrong.

I only got help for 2 reports, and the people that helped me wanted to help me.
No one was forced and I greatly appreciate their help. I just needed help in some areas that I was having some trouble in that is all.

I am new to op reports and looking for any good reference sites to refer to when needing help. My ops mostly consist of General surgery, orthopedic, ENT, ophthalmology, gyn and plastic surgery.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a M&S Equipment words book and an ortho book. Would like some good websites.
Thanks in advance

Can a person have full finger flexion at the volar wrist?
This is just a statement made in the Objective portion of the report. She is stating he has full dorsiflexion, palmar flexion and radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. THen goes on to say "finger flexion at the volar wrist irriation with clicking"
This is not a verbatim account and she is somewhat scatterbrained sometimes so you have to fill in the blanks at times.
Tenses in reports
Do the majority of y'all change tenses when the docs dictate them incorrectly? Normally I'm inclined to, but there are times when I question it. Of course, my pet peeve is dictating a surgery that already happened, yet everything is present tense!
In this case, here's what I'm questioning:
The patient was evaluated previously, and a left inguinal hernia is reducible.
Thanks in advance!

Question to QA about spacing in reports
Subject: Question to QA about spacing in reports
Have to change from 2 spaces after a period to 1 space. If you have only one space after periods in sentences, is it okay to leave 2 spaces after colons? The reason I ask is that some of my expanders have a lot of expansions (like Neck: Supple) that have 2 spaces after the colon and need to know if I have to change them all or can I leave them be?
Any advice is much appreciated!
