I guess the vac part is supposed to be evacuated. I haven't seen this slang typed in a report before, just heard it said. I don't think I'm comfy using the slang version. I'll check into the real term. Thanks for helping.

L5 compression fracture; C5-6 herniated nucleus puposus. I have never used fifth lumbar or lumbar five. Most docs I have had always dictate as L5 or C5-6 and also some do C-spine or L-spine. easier for them, I guess, as well as whoever reads the report.

effect can also be used as a verb...

to effect one's purpose...
to effect an entry,....,

but usually it's more used as a noun, that's right.

On my account I can do VERY light editing for grammar, but that's about it. As the previous poster says, if you are on a verbatim account, you should type as dictated even if it's wrong...& if you are uncomfortable with this, leave a blank.

that diabetics with hypertension are the only ones who are ever hospitalized! Having that combination put a person at a higher risk for being hospitalized with complications, of course.

You don't have the credentials to make blanket statements, because just one diabetic person here with normal BP makes you WRONG. And you already have such a response.

True, it is in all what you are allowed or not
Subject: True, it is in all what you are allowed or not

allowed to do. However, at one of the first hospitals I worked for (back in the early 80s) for example, we had a doctor who was constantly using abbreviations which we were not allowed to do in diagnosis. I will NEVER forget this. His diagnosis was "P.M.S.O.B." The transcriptionist, of course, changed this in the diagnosis to read "Shortness of breath at night." He flew off the handle - this abbreviation meant "poor, miserable, son of a B****" and that is what he wanted in the chart. It was referred to the Hospital Director who told our department manager that even though this was definitely not correct, he dictated it and wanted it there and there was not much we could do about it if we wanted to keep our jobs. This is a lesson that taught me never to second guess a physician. Granted this was not at all politically correct (we didn't have that term back then), but that is what he wanted, so I don't change anything in that vein - I may question it and flag it for the higher ups, but I don't change it.
