Sorry...excerpt from an old joke I heard at a comedy club in Boston once.

You are hearing it correctly.  Some people will refer to a preist or a nun as "Father" or "Sister" and leave out their name.  I met a priest once (just once) and I referred to him as just "Father" when I thanked him for doing whatever it is he did at my mother's wake.  (Can you tell I'm not religious?)  I didn't know his name or anything, and besides, that's what I heard everyone else around me call him. 

I think the name Mary is just one of those many "good Irish-Catholic names"...kind of like the one I got stuck with but instead bury it with the name "Hayseed."   

I'd love to put these into my file, and I'm not questioning the legitimacy (okay, I am, but I gotta because it's my patootie on the line), but is there a link to these bad boys you can share?

but transudated fits definition-wise.  I mostly hear transit in terms of things moving throug the bowel.

It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets.  Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040

They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.

I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!

This doc is famous for saying the wrong thing because he dictates while surfing the net.  Actiq is something prescribed in that clinic all the time, and he always mispronounces it "Ak-tik" rather than "Ak-teek" as it should be pronounced, so I bet he said that while thinking something else.  I know that's not right, so I will just leave it blank.  I really wish this guy would pay attention, though! 

(I don't know how many times I have been transcribing and he's hemming and hawing and I hear clicking in the background and then hear, "Hello!  You've got mail!" and I think to myself... "This guy is a neurosurgeon... And he has AOL? Hello?" Ha ha!)

Thanks for trying to help, all! I appreciate your time! 

I just can't figure it out.  Each response is a great one but it's just not what he's saying--and I know what he's saying isn't correct!

"Extremities revealed no cyanosis or edema, there are slightly decreased peripheral pulses and dorsalis pedis.  There is good capillary refill and _______ to cultures over both lower extremities.  The patient stayed in the hospital for 16 days."

I hate it when I can't figure out a word!  Again, thanks for the responses, this is a great group!

If there is a edited part of a dictation. Like a name for instance.. lets says Mrs. "Edited Part" standardly how to do acknowledge it??

Mrs. ______ Or Mrs. (BLANK)  or Mrs. (Blank) ...

or any of your ideas??

we at least need a s/l, or maybe you could just give up.

She says clearly "anti-inflammatants".  Not even sure how to spell that.  Has anyone ever used that word in a report? 

I am somewhat new to this account, so...

to expand abbreviations in diagnoses, so I would put "incision and drainage" and not I&D in the diagnoses section.

Good luck.  Sounds like you're doing a tough report.
