Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  E2efour (X): I hope not! However, why bother to translate the phrase? It can't be relevant to an evaluation of the patient. Added: May be valid, what I meant was I've always translated it by dictating. Why should it be translated?)

  -> It's a perfectly valid suggestion. This same asker has another question from a "poor quality faxed text" (this one?). And of course the phrase must be translated.
