As I sit here and edit/retype at 4cpl speech recognition for about 99% of my payperiods, I realize that every time I delete words, sentences, phrases, etc. for quality, for my MME's preference (do not be redundant, delete words dictated like significant for etc)...

When the doctor dictates about the gait and tandem gait, do you leave that under extremities if he dictates it there?

Sometimes he does dictate a NEUROLOGICAL heading and puts the gait there as well as other things, but then many times he dictates it at end of extremities and does not give separate heading. What would be the appropriate thing to do in th ...

I am typing a new doc that does not dictate the headings in his physical exam, however i am required to add them in.
