I am transcribing a report for a PICC line placement and at the end the doctor says that he places what s/l anestasol Steri-Strips. a-nest-a-sal.

Anyone know what this should be? Thanks! ...

ASR always used to type out PICC (not PIC) and disk (not disc). I just did a long report and throughout the report it had both disc and disk even in the same sentence. Also, we were told PICC is the correct abbreviation, not PIC -- so why all of a sudden can't ASR get these abbreviations/words correct? Why is it getting worse? How is it getting worse? ...

I get these types of sentences constantly and always question my comma placement.
"We will see her back in the office following her injection and if she does not improve, we would consider surgical intervention at that time."

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) ...

Any thoughts are appreciated - positive or negative..... Thanks! ...
