When the following phrase is dictated:

What is the most appropriate transcript format? With, or without hyphens? One of our staff Doc.s keeps dictating this phrase and we are stumped. Of course, this one phrase does not appear to be in BOS!


Thanks for your help!

This just isn't sitting right with me, and I think the doctor's old service (his nurse)  has been doing this wrong for awhile now.  I just took over this account and have been reviewing and comparing old notes with current dictation.


"The patient was injected with "a quarter percent" Marcaine and morphine."


She was typing this as 25% - It should be 0.25% shouldn't it.  I'm so tired right now I need to go to sleep, but have to turn this job in first.  Thanks for helping.  ME

how to write "..well-corticated..."
Subject: how to write "..well-corticated..."

Just a general question: It seems a significant percentage of radiologists will use the term "well corticated" to describe an accessory ossicle or perhaps old trauma to differentiate what may appear to be an acute fracture. Since "corticated" is not an actual word, can anyone help with an appropriate way to rephrase this? eg "At the distal tip of the fibula is a well-corticated bony lesion, likely an accessory ossicle or old trauma and not an acute fracture."


maybe "lesion with good cortical margins" or some such, but wondering if there are other suggestions.


Thanks.

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.
