Posted: Aug 30, 2010

In the derm part of this physical exam, the patient has "s/l mediastatious changes in the lower legs."  This condition is not referred to anywhere else in the dictation.  The patient has diabetes, OA, fibromyalgia, and she is obese.

I really have a problem under the Physical Examination trying to figure out what goes where when the headings aren't dictated.  For instance, in this dictation, she dictates lungs, describes her exam of them, then goes on to say, "Mass in the back and the left paraspinous area is measured..."  Would this stay under the lungs or would I make a new heading...if so, if "Back" an acceptable heading?
