confused about letter

You can use semicolon. In 2004, 225 pounds; 2005, 242 pounds; 2006, 267 pounds; 2007, 258 pounds; 2008, 255 pounds.

Is this useful?

I am typing a letter to a claims manager, and doc states

"He does have a deposition coming to s/l furlation in the near future.

Thanks for any help - I can't seem to think today

How do I address the letter/envelope when MD dictates that the letter is to go to:  (Drs Max, Jones, Smith, and Brown.)  All of these MDS work in the same office together. 

I need help formating this the correct way.  Thanks.

Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.

q.6 h. (every 6 hours)

In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.

every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription.  So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period.  Thanks.

Hello, I am writing a letter and doc wants me to list this info as a chart in the letter? In 2004 225 pounds, 2005 242 pounds, 2006 267 pounds, 2007 258 pounds, 2008 255 pounds.  How what I format that?

I am thinking....

In: 

2004  225 pounds

2005  242 pounds

etc?  However, it would not be double spaced for some reason it keeps doing it on here?

If it is business correspondence, I would use the person's "official" first name. If it is a personal letter, I would use the nickname.

If you're not sure, I would advise leaving it blank.

JMHO

I thought I saw my post come up four times, but now I don't see it at all, so I'll ask one more time.  Hopefully this works and I haven't been too annoying! 

Okay, so the patient has bilateral otitis externa "and is having a lot of swelling in the [s/l "D man"] and in the nasal mucosa.  I injected it with Depo-Medrol and Marcaine and put him on Flonase."

I feel like I should be catching this but I'm stumped!  Any ideas?

I was transcribing last night on a woman and the doc said quite clearly, twice, that she was post vasectomy.  Okay, I figured that maybe this female once was a male.  However, by the end of the report I knew that this was not the case.  Anyway, I left a QA marker as I figured what the doc said was incorrect and I did not want to be the one to type that information down.  I checked on the report today and QA had put in vasectomy, just as I thought he said. 

Okay, so my question is:  can women get vasectomies??  I thought it was impossible, but after yesterday my confidence is shaken.  Women don't have the vas for the ectomy.  If I am correct, then why would QA leave something so erroneus in a report?  If it were me I would have left it blank. 

Please, someone correct me if I am totally wrong.   

track (track) (trak)  1. the path along which something moves, or the mark left by its movement.  2. of pus, to follow the path of least resistance through the tissues, e.g., along an intermuscular septum.

tract (tract) (trakt) [L. tractus]  1. a region, principally one of some length.  2. a collection or bundle of nerve fibers having the same origin, function, and termination (tractus [TA]); see also under bundle, fasciculus, and lemniscus.  3. a number of organs, arranged in series, subserving a common function.

This is according to Dorland's online dictionary.  I too get confused but I think it should be track. 

My MD dictated a letter of recommendation and would like me to make him sound better.  Gosh!!  I am so brain dead when it comes to these things... been doing verbatim transcription for far toooo long. 

Would anyone out there like to give this a whirl? 

I appreciate any suggstions.  Thanks.

Mr. X spent a week with me in my internal medicine office this past summer.  He is currently a student at XX University and has decided on a career in a medicine.  Mr. X, in the process of starting his medical career, has spent time with multiple physicians to show that he is serious about a career in medicine.  Mr X has excellent personal skills, as you will see when you interview him.  He asked intelligent questions and showed a genuine interest while he was here with me in the office.  His thought process seemed both logical and rational during our discussions.

Mr. X  has all the makings of a good physician, intelligence, hardworking, motivated, and personal.  I recommend highly that he be accepted in your training to become an xxx  physician.

The studies demonstrated carotid artery disease but, also, she has a platelet count of 1004 k per cmm and persistent reduction in her hemoglobin and hematocrit at 9.4 and 31.5.

Does anyone know how to format this?  I can't find the K at all in relation to these values, but doc is  clearly saying,  1004 K per cmm.  thank you.
