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.

I am allowed to edit and correct
Subject: I am allowed to edit and correct
I am allowed to make changes to what he says, which is why I asked the question. I am allowed to edit and change what the doctor says and how he says it - and I do a lot of that in the course of the day because some of the things he says are just a mess. "Retarded" did seem a little derogatory to me and I think I will put it in better terms than that.
I guess it comes down to what the rules are that you work by - whether you can edit or if you are verbatim. If it was verbatim I wouldn't have questioned it (even thought I personally feel it is insulting) but since I have the option to change it, I was just wondering what the correct term was now because I know it keeps changing. Thanks for all the opinions!

I put the word in as dictated with quotes around it and then sent it off to QA. I noticed later that they just deleted it and put a blank and sent it through without the word. Yet one more reason why I hate being on verbatim accounts!

I have worked for 3 years for 2 ENT docs who no longer perform surgery. They have just added a new doc to the practice and he does perform surgeries. He is describing the tonsils as essentially "kissing" on examination.  Is this correct? Thanks
A lot of the questions you have been
Subject: A lot of the questions you have been
asking are very, very basic. You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you. Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that. I hope that is the case. However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating. I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing. Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board. You have to stand on your own skills when testing. If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready. Good luck to you.
