Okay, I don't know if this is the right thread to post this, but Doc is saying Visual Acuity right eye 20/nothing, left eye 20/nothing.  How would that be transcribed??  Thanks.

Here are some uncommon ones that might help in the future.  Monocular visual field.   Visual field superior 36 taped-and-untaped (checking for lid droop).   Mac-to-red visual field (macular threshold to red, for patients that use Plaquenil).   Hope this helps.

Do you think the doc is saying "a 7" as in pain is a 7 out of 10? Just an idea.
PAIN SCALE
Subject: PAIN SCALE

The doctor dictates:  "The patient states his pain is 2 out of 10 on a scale of 0 to 10."


SHOULD IT BE:  "The patient states his pain is 2/10 on a scale of 0/10."


OR


"The patient states his pain is 2/10 on a scale of 0 to 10."

Pain scale in leukemia patients
Subject: Pain scale in leukemia patients

Hi,

Is there a pain scale that is commonly referred to for leukemia patients? I'm doing a clinic note on a patient, and in the PE section, I hear something that sounds like ecot 0 (zero). The first thing that pops into my head is Ficat, but I don't think that's what it would be. I often hear doctors mention the pain scale rating right along with the vital signs, and that's where this is dictated. I'm googling and researching this, but I'm not even sure where to look. Any suggestions?
