Psych report + doctor says "full psy-A" - Chezrobin


Posted: Sep 11, 2010

On a psych consultation the doctors says what sounds like "full psy-A" indicates a high level of obsessiveness. I researched this heavily for an acronym that would match that study and did not find it.  I finally decided he was speaking in a clipped manner for "full psychoanalysis". What do you think? This is a new job and a new doc to me, so any help you can offer would be appreciated. 

please give the full sentence - sm

don't understand the s/l. Are you hearing "pee ess why" or "sigha"?

Full "sigh-a" - Chezrobin

[ In Reply To ..]
I hear "sigh-a". I did consider an acronym but he is not stating letters. The full sentence is as follows: "A {full psy-a} was filled out which indicated a high level of obsessiveness, apparently without a high level of patient distress about it."

could it be PSI -- - psychological screening inventory?

Doctor's Full Name And Title?
Dec 26, 2009

When you transcribe a doctor's name in the body of the report, do you always need to transcribe the doctor's full name and title, even if not dictated as such - for example, would you need to transcribe "Adam Adams, MD" even if just dictated as "Dr. Adams," and look up the full name and title? I'm always required to do so but can't find it in the BOS. I'm new so I don't know if this has been posted yet. Thanks. ...

Nearly 21 Minute Report Of Another Doctor's Dictation
Jan 01, 2014

I had a long, long report that was filled up mostly with another doctor's dictation, who was sitting nearby going a mile a minute dictating on his patient while my dictating doctor sat quietly thinking.  At least, I guess that's what he was doing, hard to tell, he was so quiet while page after page filled up with the report from another patient.  When my doctor resumed speaking, it was hard to find where his dictation began again.  The actual report turned out ...
