Knee exam - kcoletta


Posted: Dec 07, 2014

PA always says:  The right knee (or whatever limb) has no visual deformities. Should it not be visible deformities, or am I overthinking?  I think of visual deformities occurring in the vision, but I don't know.  She's the only one who says this.

It's her stupidity, let her live with it.

Maybe her choice of words is not the best, but it's what she said and the meaning is clear. I'd leave it. I've also heard many dictators say this. It also depends if you are working for your own client or a MTSO. A MTSO might ding you points off for changing a word, whereas a private client might not even notice or care. We no longer have the luxury/permission to correct some grammar gaffs like in the old days. Be on the safe side and transcribe as dictated.

that she "sees" no deformities. Meaning there are no deformities to the naked eye. That is how I take it when they say that and always have. Leave as is.
