Hyphenation - Doctor dictates "arterio and arteriosclerosis" - TXMT

Posted: Jul 26, 2013

Doctor dictates "arterio and arteriosclerosis." What is the correct way to type this? "arterio- and arteriolosclerosis" or as above. Thanks for any and all help. TXMT

Yup - Addison

That's how I would type it. arterio- and arteriolosclerosis. :o)

that doesn't even make sense - sm

are you sure they're not saying arterio- and atherosclerosis? There would be no reason to have "arterio-" twice.

I think that's a typo in the first sentence. Second example shows arterioLOsclerosis. - observer (nm)

She's dictating from a renal biopsy consultation; so, yes I'm "sure" that's what I heard. Thanks anyway.

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

exactly the same on every report and you have put his ROS and PE in your abbreviation expander, but sometimes he will dictate something out of order. For example, the dictator still says the same exact things he always says, but sometimes instead of saying "EXTREMTIES: No clubbing, cyanosis or edema." He says, "EXTREMITIES: No edema, clubbing or cyanosis." Do you go back and change it or do you leave it since he is saying the same thing? And if you don� ...
