PE on neurologist consult. Pt with spinal sarcoma. Doc is a pretty clear dictator. Not sure if "tesseril" is actually "tests for all" or what. How about "effort". Is this customary in a neuro consult?

I've worked at America's Pride since last spring so I never went through a holiday season with them before.

From now on, I am blanking HEENT/HENT any time I am not 100%, absolutely, positively sure of what the doctor says. Especially if they don't say anything at all (which is the usual).
This is utter ridiculousness and I am not going to risk a QA (or QC or whatever it is!)'s subjective opinion about whether a dictator said (or meant) one E or two!

When I requested reversal over getting gigged on this I spelled my thoughts out pretty thoroughly but don't know how far up the chain of holiness that goes.
Has anyone else shot off their opinions on this? Hoping if we get enough of us to make an issue they might reverse this idiotic ruling.

I've heard of palpable cords plenty of times when examining the extremities, but this time under HEENT, doc says "His mucous membranes are moist. His temples had no *s/l palpable cords* and nontender to palpation. Pupils equal, round, and reactive..."
Is this correct? ...
