Subject: Type of infarct?
The doc says the patient had either a carotid event or a s/l "Borgisone" infarct due to decreased cerebral blood flow, generally to the brain or, more particularly, to the right internal carotid artery. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!

It sounds like a direct quote from the patient and not the doctor’s words. I would type it:
