I have a doctor who very distinctly dictates that the heart is "regularly regular" - for just about every single patient. I don't think this is how it should be typed and I have been leaving blanks.


Is there a "regularly regular" rhythm - wouldn't it just be "regular"? He is not saying any of the other rhythms, i.e. irregularly irregular, regularly irregular, etc.


Thanks for any input.
