Bet you haven't seen this one before ...
Subject: Bet you haven't seen this one before ...

This is not an account where I have any editorial leeway.  The doctor states, "She was evaluated by an orthopedist, who kind of poo-poo'ed the patient's complaints and apparently did not do an x-ray exam."


Opinions on how to spell "poo-poo'ed?"  


Thanks!

If there's no dosage I'd listen and see if he's whispering some word between We and Will, such as "give" or "prescribe". Sorry I can't be of more help.

Subject: I haven't used one in a long time, but

I would either call tech support for Sony, I was trying to google and troubleshoot that way, but couldn't find anything, or find an office repair shop in your area as some of them still fix those machines, that way you don't have to go out and buy one.  Or if you have work you have to do now, I have had to go out and get one in an emergency just to finish the work while I got mine repaired, then had a back-up machine.  They really don't make a good machine anymore and they break down frequently, in my opinion.  I don't know how long you have had yours or how many hours a day you're on it, but it might be time to replace it.  Sorry, I wish I had a clear-cut solution to tell you.  It's so frustrating when our equipment fails us and we have so much work to get done.

Hi Shirl -

Hang in there, this will be old hat to you after a while. Radiology reports are usually pretty standard. Same phrases/terms used by all radiologists.

Some usual headings in a radiology report are:

CLINICAL INDICATION: or INFORMATION: or HISTORY, or variations of any of these.

FINDINGS: or RESULTS:

IMPRESSION: or OPINION:

Start adding the common phrases, like "lung markings" and all the various possible headers as above, to whatever word expander program you have. You'll be flying through reports in no time!

I have a problem under impression ...


"D: IMPRESSION:  Occipital neuralgia probable acute gastroenteritis"


question: how will I transcribe that? coz Occipital neuralgia is not related to "probable acute gastroenteritis" isn't it? or possibly there was a 2 impression. one, is occipital neuralgia and secondly, acute gastroenteritis?... What's the meaning by the dictator?


NOTE: but the dictator did not dictate any numbering.... 


Assessment or Impression
