the way I was taught. I was also told eons ago that if there are 2 spellings, the first is the preferred. Stedman's lists curette first.

Dorland's lists curet as the preferred spelling. Interesting, huh? Neither is wrong. Don't sweat the small stuff.

curet v curette
Subject: curet v curette
If you look up both curet and curette in medical dictionary, curette has a definition of a spoon shaped surgical instrument, etc., but curet is only listed as a variant of curette. I use curette as a noun or verb and stay away from the variant curet, especially on picky accounts. FYI.

It's also about the angle, and I've had 'no doubt' kind of dictators that use them...My presumption was that it was a short-hand way of saying up-biting (or down-biting, as I've used down curette, too).

curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Subject: curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Doc is an ESL (and a pretty good speaker but the sound quality isn't the best), and he sounds like he says he's using a seeramick (spelled phonetically) to remove a BB from this child's ear. I've searched my ENT and equipment books as well as googled and am having no luck finding this. I thought maybe it was his way of pronouncing ceramic, but I don't even know if there is such a thing as a ceramic curette. He's definitely not saying serrated. Any ideas?

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
