Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.
Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.
Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.
Ex:
His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).
D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?
Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

improve a patient's nutritional status., but rather do the complete opposite. I think the physician meant to dictate "GI" physician since he/she mentioned the dysphagia in the dictation, which is also a common place for strictures or lesions to develop.

here's what I've always done:
He was given a do-not-resuscitate order.
I think my high school English teacher would prefer it thusly;)
He was given a "do-not-resuscitate" order.
Like Txczech said, sometimes these are bolded and capitalized to alert treating physicians of patients' wishes, similar to allergy statements. Client preference, again.
Unless you know for sure that the client does not have a special order called the Do-Not-Resuscitate Order, lowercase it. (I think this is what you might have been considering.)

Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"? I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated. For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale. HELP! I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!
Thanks!

You are right, it should be are, because data is a Latin term, the plural of datum. But it is used as singular. I would also like to use are, instead of is. Type it as dictated. Most people use 'is'.

Okay, I have a really "$tupid" question....on this phrase "including but not limited to" how should the formatting be? would there be commas? is it "including, but not limited to," or as typed above?
Thanks so much for your help!!

I would type it "including, but not limited to," I used to work for a doctor who had an English minor and this is how he wanted it.

I am a 42-year veteran MT, supervisor and QA but also did a stint in an insurance defense law firm for about four years in the 1980s. I reviewed medical records for the firm and boy were my eyes opened then about some very questionable medical transcription! Oh, by the way, no question is ever stupid in my book--just people, in general, who do not ask when necessary!
Your second version is correct, "including, but not l limited, to." If you take the 'commaed' portion out and then read it, you should still have a complete sentence.
Happy Saturday!

Subject: grammar question
Initially, Cytotec insertion in the posterior fornix was done; subsequently, oxytocin stimulation was started. She received 2 doses of Cytotec during the day and, subsequently, variable decelerations were noted. The contraction pattern appeared to be somewhat frequent; therefore, one dose of Brethine was administered and Stadol was given and, subsequently, it subsided.
Am I punctuating right in these instances? I have the hardest time with subsequently and therefore, knowing where to put semicolons and commas.
