I’ll read 100-200 studies a day. We have almost 1000 templates (one for each radiology exam), all of which have multiple fields with pick lists to minimize how much we actually have to type.
CHF on chest X-ray? Pick 8. COPD? Pick 3. Standard AM ICU film? Pick 10.
This can’t cover every situation but has reduced typos over 90% in our group.
“Correlate clinically.”
You monsters 😂🤣
Lol…we use that term when it’s obvious to everyone but us. Example: gas in the urinary bladder. Differential includes infection and recent instrumentation. Correlate clinically.
“Possible findings could represent atelectasis, volume overload, pulmonary hypertension, developing pneumonia, COPD, or swallowing a fucking leprechaun. Correlate clinically.”
