Now wait...
Subject: Now wait...

Check out this link which discussed the Allred score and includes a chart.  There is indeed an Allred score pertaining to breast cancer, and doc could have dictated that.  Of course BI-RADS is a much more common term, but maybe, just maybe, it was Allred.   Let's hope Lauren's ears didn't miss a B-sound at the beginning.

and cares.

I am thankful we are allowed to still use 2 spaces after colons and periods. The main thing I hear about from QA is to transcribe dates in the format dictated, and that's hard for me because I'm used to making them all conform to the same format that is used in the demographics 00/00/00, even if they dictate "May 5th, '05."

I typed in hippurate. It's Methenamine Hippurate. Sorry for false alarm. Sometimes it works doing those reverse searches but I didn't think of doing that until after my post. Sorry.

Wait Dana
Subject: Wait Dana

I Googled this as I had never heard of it either. It got a couple of hits, but nothing reliable. I wouldn't use it unless you can find it in a reliable reference source. Can you give me some more of the paragraph? Maybe the sentences before and after, so I can see more of the context?

The only thing I did find that it could possibly be is spinal muscular atrophy. Could that possibly be it?

I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%

This patient recently got a diagnosis of Soft Tissue Rheumatism:  He says:


She has a history of pelvic and scapular s/l tills, polyarthralgias, tight hamstrings and stated she has lost weight. 


And in the other spot it sounds like he is saying pelvic and scapular tilts.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Sometimes they say "levocurvature" instead of "levoscoliosis" because the curvature may be caused by the way the patient is positioned. The doc may be reluctant to diagnose a scoliosis on the basis of just one study.

consistently makes up his own drugs. He also makes up his own words. If I hear the non-word "equivocable" one more time, I am going to scream. He's a great dictator as far as being clear speaking, he just likes to improvise on his words a bit. Not fun for me.

THANKS!

Subject: Thank you everyone, but do you always find the name of the doctor that you are looking for?

Sometimes I find that harder than finding the address. He just says the doctor's name phonetically and I have to figure out which name he is saying.. Any ideas? Thanks.

dictating a medicine of Xanax 20 mg t.i.d.  I'm only an MT, not a pharmacist, but 20 mg sounds awfully high, especially when the doses are usually in the 0.5 to 2 mg range.  I checked and it comes in 0.25 mg up to 2 mg.  I'm just wondering if I should put a QA marker here and ask them to double check or if I should just type what I hear and let it go through.  Has anyone else heard of somebody being on this high of a dose of Xanax before?  Thanks!

Popliteal is the anatomical structure behind the knees.

Otherwise that doctor is a bit tipsy, or I have no idea what he/she is trying to say.

This 81-year-old patient's daughter calls the doctor to report the patient is having acute, severe vaginal bleeding.


He yawns through this sentence...


I have gone over the patient’s S/L: path history with the daughter and recommended that she go to the emergency room for immediate evaluation.


I have thought of "past" history, but it really sounds like PATH history.  Would that be possible (as in pathology history?)  Is that a common enough phrase?


Thanks.
