Radiologist is saying what sounds like "Fluid is seen within the s/l entercies of the mesentery." The other word in the same report is: "High density within the dependent portion of the stomach surrounded by contrast measuring 36 Hounsfield units could reflect s/l embezel (2nd e with long e sound), blood products, or food particles."

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
?

Subject: blanks
