doc is clearly dictating "organosplenomegaly" Do I leave it or change it???
I would change to organomegaly - but that is me
[ In Reply To ..]organo covers all organs, liver, spleen, kidney; but I have seen people change it to hepatosplenomegaly or just leave it if it is verbatim.
I was told to leave this - Raine59
[ In Reply To ..]I had this same word once and was told to leave it as is. Even though it's not a legitimate word, doctors make up lots of words and as long as it doesn't contradict anything else and it's obvious what it intended, to just leave it.
for the record - anon
[ In Reply To ..]heard back from my quality specialist, or whatever they care being called these days, and she said to leave it, but to cover myself and leave a QC note. I did leave it, without a note, and QA didn't change it. This account is on 100% QA.
could you possibly be hearing - hepatosplenomegaly?
