Sure. Why not? - xx

It's clear what is meant. If it really bothers you, you could track the doctor down and berate him/her for using a harmless colloquialism, but that probably wouldn't end well. If it were me, I'd just type it and get on with my life.

Personally couldn't care less - but

In the old days, and I'm an oldtimer, it was considered slang. Just wanted to make sure before I get dinged for another stupid thing.

Slang has become acceptable - see msg

Slang has become more acceptable in present day. I personally don't care anymore and can't take the time to fix all these things.

crap too? hahha - bleeble

I just got dinged by qa because i used slang but i also got dinged because I put "Will see the patient in six months". Though not dictated, they say I should be "I" in front of it and my six should be 6 and I had a comma in the sentence before that shouldn't be there. But (oh yes, look I started a sentence with a "butt" lol). Maybe QA is trying to keep their HOURLY jobs while those of us working for slave wages are dinged? And then the new EMRs populate in a bunch of gibberish that is acceptable anyway. This is a mess. Getting out...

Personally, I'd change it and flag QA and let them know ... - Anemone

Unless it's a direct quote ... or a verbatim account.

I've never seen QA change it back ... but I'm sure other people have.

It's a legal document, hi-ho, hi-ho ...

Had a dictator talking about a patient's "butt ulcer" this morning - I typed as dictated

These words both are easily understandable, and I don't think either one of them qualifies as "profanity," so I would type either of them exactly as dictated.
