Subject: well, if not verbatim change order of sentence...





 


i just think saying when he *valsalvas* is wrong...


named after:


Antonio Maria Valsalva


Italian anatomist, born June 17, 1666, Imola, in Romagna; died February 2, 1723. Bologna

--------------------


so I think the order/structure of the sentence would need to be changed IF NOT VERBATIM....

I would change it to read:  "His eye contact was intermittent.  Most of the time, his gaze was fixed on whatever toy he was playing with."


Rule of thumb: semicolon: punctuation mark that is used in formal writing between two parts of a sentence, usually when each of the two parts could form grammatical sentences on their own. Also, to be grammatically correct, never end a sentence with a preposition.

On verbatim account, when doc dictates a number at the beginning of a sentence how do you handle it? For instance, "Forty-two-year-old woman...," I spell it out right? Also, another sentence begins with "4-0 Vicryl was also used..," what do I in this situation? If they are strict on verbatim, just go with number? 4-0?

This is probably a stupid question, but I have seen this both ways and am not sure which is right.  If the patient is a doctor I have seen the name written as LAST, First, M.D. or LAST, M.D., First.  I have also seen LAST, Dr. First.  Can anyone tell me which way is the best?

He should point it out to his supervisor because it is wrong. I don't care what QA says unless they can show me a resource where they got their information and it checks out. I would also point out to the client this fact. If they don't want to have their transcription correct and concise then I don't want their work. Right is right, wrong is wrong. I am really strong on this especially since the "new AAMT" has made all their "changes" and believe their BOS is the bible. It is not. Many of their "rules" are correct. Many of the are not. Research some of their changes and you will see just how over the top they have gone (it seems to be a control issue and they WILL cram it down your throat). I say that we all research on our own and go to reliable trusted sources that have been proven over time to be correct. The "New AAMT" definitely has not proven itself over time and incidentally they are not there for Americans anymore, they are there for the "overseas community." Humbug on them! Anyone know who could take the place of AAMT for American transcriptionits? After all, we are all Americans here and the language is English.
