That would be one way to do it.  The doctors always seem to treat the phrases as a single entity, so I usually ponder it for a few minutes and then end up typing it the way they say it but wondered if it was correct or not.

I found Ultracet in my drug book as an analgesic but I did not find Ultracef. However, on google it lists Ultracef as an antibiotic but I do not find it everywhere I look so I did not know if it was an approved medication.

That is why I asked.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it.  She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants.  Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

Hi, I'm a semi-new transcriptionist who has had no formal training, and I'm having some problems figuring out a couple spellings.  One is a medication called *Inderon* (not sure how to spell).  The other is a phrase that I'm not sure what exactly the doctor is saying.  It sounds like *bill-raw-2 anastomoses*  Thanks SO much for any help!!!

Inderon? How about Enduron.

Subject: A few words... need help!

This doctor is slurring bad so I don't even know if my examples will be accurate!! It sounds like she hasn't gone to med school OR general english and doesn't know how to pronounce words. Ugh.

- Glypenitin? Some kind of medication. Don't know what it is for as this patient has many diseases.
- Sounds like "see-ko" syndrome... I think. I can't understand her!! Fecal syndrome? LOL Maybe it's sickle syndrome.. I don't know.
- Sounds like "smith". As in positive ANA, positive SSA and SSB (I can't tell if it's SSA and SSB or just one or the other GRR!!!!), positive RNP, positive __________, positive rheumatoid factor.

I'm going to try to finish this report. Wish me luck. :/

For the fun of it!! Hydroclomibmwlap... I don't expect anyone to look THAT up. ;) That one deserves a big fat blank. Yes, that is the exact way she pronounced it.

Enavaprovolil was actually Enalapril. How horrible is that? LOL javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Also, if anyone has a 2x4 so I can go beat this doctor senseless, I'd appreciate it. ;)

I think he is saying subdeltoid sprain for diagnosis. (could that be?) He also says he has some medial s/l thotic pain. Also, MRI confirms strain of the medial deltoid with minimal s/l sococal edema. and finally the s/l taos beneath the deltoid insertion also included the FHL tendon sheath.
