Subject: hmmm... what's the text book way?

I really don't know. It's a school assigned transcript looking for a I guess "Text Book" way of transcribing it. But all she dictates is
Pyscho was consulted. for her 'Hospital Course.' ... So I was confused at to whether leave it or expand.. but as I see what your saying.. because when I expand it those ways.. doesn't really make sense.. maybe they are wanting me to realized that and not expand but "" the report.

"Recently, he went to a massage parlor that was given by a woman and he said he had more than just a massage. He said that she performed a hand job on them. Basically, that was pretty much about it. She masturbated him with her hand and after that, he started to have some discomfort. He denies having any oral, vaginal, or anal sex with this person. He said that after all that, he said he started to get this discomfort."

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:

get formolent = ___ for a minute

OR

get formolent = get 4 ____

as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"

I wish I could be more help...

Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy.  It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy. 
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...

The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive.  I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.

Actually after listening to that one at least 50 times, I could get nothing else from it.  A Cobb can be a retractor or elevator.  In this case, it was used to scrape vertebrae...I did find micro-Cobb.  But it really didn't sound a bit like that.  Macoa or Mikoa perhaps, but I tried every spelling I could think of.  Oh well...it's a mystery, and the report went to proofing, but it left me curious.  Thanks!

Not sure, Harsh attitude meant for me?? I don't see any anon posts either?? All seem to have a name/initial. The written word gets lost in translation, can't possibly know what is really meant, no inflection heard.  Glad you asked though.  Perhaps it is how you are reading the posts, ya think?   My post was meant just like I said, if somebody wants it in a certain way that is the way you do it. You don't argue and trying to "be right" If you go searching to get an okay to do it another way, thid will only create problems for you.  You need to think on it.

Subject: Hmmm. He's not saying "denudations" by any chance? sm

I'm thinking it might read:

Denudations x3, right second and fifth DIPJ, and right hallux.

I could be way off. I don't know what nucleations could be unless he has his own meaning for the term. Denudations would make sense if the patient had injured his foot (degloving) or if it were ulcers denuding the epithelium.

You can always just leave it and flag it "as dictated." That would cover you.

Wish I could be of more help.

I had to send it back already with blanks and a note to my coordinator for some help. this sounds pretty close, as in the note to the referring physician, he mentioned a urine test for this too. It is hard to believe a one year old baby would have something like this though, but I do appreciate your help. I will let you know when I find out definitely what it is. oh, and I am hopped up on Hershey kisses with caramel, so don't feel bad! LOL. thanks again. I have a feeling this might be it.
