Tonsils 2-3+ bilaterally
Subject: Tonsils 2-3+ bilaterally

The doctors tape is unclear and all I am catching is  the word  ULLS.  The doctor is talking about this in the HEENT part of the report.


She says the ULLS are 2-3+ bilaterally and very ereythematous.


Do you think this might be - The tonsils are 2-3+ bilaterally and very erythematous.


 


Thanks.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm
Subject: how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
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!
