"denies" list...and/or? - lg
Posted: Jul 07, 2011
This doctor is not dictating the final conjunction in a list of "denies." What is the correct conjunction for the following two examples? Thanks for the help!
Patient denies cough, runny nose, AND stuffy nose.
No nausea, vomiting, OR diarrhea.
Verbatim account? - Serious

Hi- If this is a verbatim account, of course I wouldn't even add the conjunction and simply leave it "as is." If the conjunction is necessary, I would add it in as you have stated it:
1. AND
2. OR
thanks! - lg

Thanks! I've been told to type verbatim, but also corrected for not making sentences more fluid. Go figure :P
Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list?
Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace.
Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma.
Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...

If you are filling out a job application and it asks you what your last pay was at your last job, what do you put if Nuance is your last job? How do you write that? Just put 7 cpl? If you put starting pay and then ending pay, isnt that going to look terrible on you? Like they lowered YOUR pay so much as compared to when you started. For you all putting out applications how are you handling that especially when they give no room for explanation on their apps? Thanks ...
I'm having trouble with the format of this psych consult. Under the DIAGNOSIS heading, the dictator lists the Axes as follows:
Axis I: Adjustment disorder with anxiety, moderate in degree.
Then he says, "new paragraph" but continues on with Axis I to say "Psychogenic amnesia."
Then he says, "new paragraph" again and goes on with Axes II thru V. Should I really skip to the next line even though he's still on Axis I or just make it a new sentence and keep it on the same li ...
The list was fun, but what do you think? Should I delete it all to keep the moderators from having to do it? I hope I didn't break too many rules or go too far.
Moderators, please feel free to delete it and I will behave myself in the future. Just had a little too much time on my hands today, which is very rare, and had some fun. ...

You know, I was reading the list on job seeker's board and, on some of them, I just want to email them and say, "Really? For all that work? You are going to pay 0.07 a line?" Are you for real?
