How do you handle it when Parkinson's is dictated instead of Parkinson's disease? We are not supposed to use the apostrophe; however, it looks funny to say - The patient has a history of Parkinson.
Would you add the word disease even though it wasn't actually dictated? ...
The doctor mentions "coria" multiple times in the report in conjunction with Parkinson's. He says "Significant coria"

This is an ortho doc and he is saying the pt "is having nocturnally exacerbated tremors or "valythmic" type movements in the upper and lower extremities". End of word definitely sounds like "lythmic", it's just the first part I can't get. It's not rhythmic, too many syllables. Could possibly start with a "b", it's that type of "v" or "b" sound.
Thanks very much... :) ...
