verbatim frustration
Subject: verbatim frustration
I had one recently where the doc clearly used the wrong word (something like "she does got") on a verbatim report. I cringed as I typed it. Of course, after sending it, I wish I would have either corrected it or just flagged it, since it had to go to QA anyway. QA corrected it. That part doesn't bother me, but maybe we need a new definition of the varying degrees of verbatim. It's getting a bit much.

I have posted on these boards several times, only asking questions, and have gotten some crazy, rude, ugly, nasty, idiotic, etc., responses. When people respond and make you out to be an idiot, just because you asked a simple question, THEY are the ones who really look like the idiot!! I see people criticize others for the least little thing, like in your instance. They will post a response just to let someone know they misspelled a simple word, when it has nothing at all to do with the question or comment. They must have a lot of time on their hands, is all I can say!!!
BTW, I like to vent every once in a while, too!

I think we all have at least one doc that drives us up a wall with his dictation ways. I have a couple too, and it is very easy to overlook the *obvious*. Hope you got it worked out.

My primary acct is a verbatim but am allowed to make grammatical corrections as long as it does not change the meaning. One of my docs dictated *monna releaser*. After getting my laugh for the day, I typed *I am going to release her*....this one was not an ESL. Gotta getta good laugh once in a while to keep sanity....

I think I have come to that conclusion, also. There is just too much for me to try to fix it all. I'm not sure I would even know where to begin. There is just so much garbage... Thanks for verifying my thoughts, though.... :)

Would this be actual "verbatim" transcription or correct, per BOS? What would vertaim be when you have to type exactly what they say even if it is not proper? I think that is what the OP was asking. Now I am curious.

PPD is a test for tuberculosis. You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor. You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.
That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.

General surgeon talking about frozen section pathologic exam of squamous cell carcinoma lesion. First frozen section came back with positive margins so he went back to excise a second specimen which he submitted S/L "on fos" with the new margin up. This is a verbatim account and this dictator is on 100% QA (all reports) since he is so SPECIAL. I referenced the other reports in his MD data base and found "en Fos" which would have been put there by QA before the report was signed off to the hospital. I can't find this anywhere and was wondering if anybody has a clue?

If doc says "gasenous indigestion" and you are supposed to type verbatim, do you leave it gasenous? It's gaseous right?
Sorry, stupid question?
verbatim?--gasenous?
Subject: verbatim?--gasenous?
When typing verbatim would you commonly use a virgule like that? This verbatim thing is new to me and its got me all turned around. I cant tell if doc is saying "gasenous (meaning gaseous) indigestion" or if he is saying two symptoms the patient had, gassiness and indigestion. He says them right in a row like that.

It would actually be "sub cu" with a space between the two, so I just learned in the last year since doing transcription for a bit over 20 years...lol..guess what it really comes down to is whatever QA thinks it should be,...but of course...she knows better than you...yeah right...NOT

He just said the patient was *ambued and could not be intibated due to facial trauma*
So, looks like this is one of those that is up in the air and probably something to talk to company QA about?
Is this a verbatim account?
Subject: Is this a verbatim account?
If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.

I personally do not have strict verbatim accounts, so I would not put in the word systolic. Since the doctor is putting in a range (110-120), he wants to make sure you know this is systolic. I doubt it needs to be included.

I am told to type some test files verbatim and I know that means exactly the way the dictator is saying it. My problem is the doctor is saying ain't and doesn't, which are contractions. This just do not seem right, right?

Valsalva maneuver. Lots of docs turn it into a verb, so I would say if it is verbatim, what you have is how to spell it, all lower case.

i would keep adding "The" since pH either needs "the" in front of it or needs to be recasted...and recasting your example, "pH is WNL," sounds like Yoda talking..."within normal limits pH is..." =) verbatim accounts sometimes give grammar grace...plus it has no bearing on patient care...just fixing a lazy doc...my 2 cents...done, am I =)

I rearrange the sentence so that it is not the beginning. If it is a verbatim account you don't want to change anything but type as both letters in caps, PH.
