s/l sub-5, is ulcer to 5th digit - Rae
Posted: Feb 15, 2011
I am on a report where the dictator keeps saying what sounds like sub-5. He is very clearly talking about an ulceration on the fifth toe. I've not heard this term before, maybe it is being shortened. How do I transcribe this? Please help if you can. I've googled this and can't verify it. Thank you.
Doc is probably...sm - GT
[ In Reply To ..]just referring to the bottom part of the fifth toe. Sub means under or below. I would dictate it as sub-5 or sub fifth.

[ In Reply To ..]You could also dictate it as ICManiac mentioned---sub-5 or sub 5th. I spelled it out simply because I have one account that insists we do. : )

Fired For Input Of Single Wrong Digit.
Oct 11, 2012
The system I worked on required me to input the identity of the dictating physician as a number, not a name. I missed a digit, inputting a 6 instead of a 9 as one of the 3 digits. This caused the report [an operative report, in the body of which the dictator/surgeon's name is spelled out] to be sent to the wrong physician for signature. I am told I am now in violation of HIPAA and I am fired from the account. Since it is my only account, I am fired, period. Ah well. ...

It actually sounds more like "ulcer debrided in a s/l dermolating manner," but I have no idea. This doc often slurs, mixes words and makes up words, so I'm clueless here. This is for a wound care doc in an ortho clinic. Does demyelinating manner make any sense? Thanks!! ...
