Subject: changing question

Changing what is dictated is not always appropriate
Subject: Changing what is dictated is not always appropriate

even if you are offended by profanity. If the doc you are transcribing has a quote in it, you have to type as dictated or it is not a quote. If the physician is using profanity that has nothing to do with what the patient actually said, then some clients require you to change the words, because it is inappropriate otherwise.

My stance on this is just this. If it is a quote, don't change it, because it changes the integrity of the document. Whether you are offended or not, these medical records also serve as legal documents. You must keep that in mind. Just because you are offended is not a reason to change the words.
changing around doctors words
Subject: changing around doctors words

What is considered normal and appropriate..  if the doctor usually says things or an expressoin a certain way and this expression is on my autocorrect is it okay for me to type it in that way (with my autocorrect) if he changes around the sentence but it really means the same thing anyway.  Also, how much is it acceptable to change what he says.
