Although that would still be a low diastolic reading, I'd probably flag it anyway.
Maybe 168/115, but I'd flag it if you're hearing 15 - MT

With a BP of 168/15, the patient would definitely be in extremis, still alive though as long as they've got a heart beat and respirations.

Has anyone ever heard that a patient's "blood pressure is several years old."? This patient is in for hypertension and the doctor is talking about her varying higher level blood pressures and he ends the subjective paragraph with the above sentence. I've listened several times and that is what he is saying. Does this make sense?
Thanks so much! ...
He is definltely not saying 94. He is saying "90 tore". He said it twice and specifically pronounced 90 tore.
It is a patient who has hypotension and is being dialyzed. I cannot find anything and wondered if anyone ever heard that.
Thanks,

You know this is some food for thought. You know if there are any mistakes on any of these medical records being VR edited or transcribed and it went to court and you know how they say the transcriber/editor would be liable too, well think about this -- the tremendous amount of pressure that these companies put us under including the severe lack of pay, putting us on an almost impossible production scale among pressures from QA and so forth, a transcriber's defense is so easy and is a ...

I worked at the same MTSO for over 6 years - there's a lot of turnover in MTSO's, ...
Patient is on ventilation and having multi-system failure. Doctor is saying he is requiring increasing pressure/pressor support. It sounds like pressor, but thought it could also be pressure. I'm finding both around and am wondering which is correct. ...
The patient has known kidney stones.
The doc says . . . . "He compalined of s/l thick-a-ties pressure and pain running down to his left testicle and left flank . . ." ...
My eyes are burning, tearing and are out of focus, my cheeks and upper teeth are killing me and I have a headache at my eyebrows, but I'm still working. Anybody else work while sick just to make ends meet?? Anybody else work sick because they don't want to have to go through all we have to go through just for missing a shift? ...
I am really not good with matters of the heart (you know what I mean!)
