Subject: 2 questions--eye drops brand and prostate surgery
How's that for a combination??
Anyway, the doc says s/l "cause-op" eye drops--does anyone know what brand this might be?
For the prostate, the surgeon performed s/l "paleydip transection of the prostate."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I then entered the space just anterior to the ampulla of the vesae. The vesae were then elevated upwards and divided and both seminal vesicles were then disected out completely. The right seminal vesicle was torn inadvertantly but was completely disected out. I sent this as a seperate specimen. The post seminal vesicles and vesae now completely disected free, I developed the plane posterior to the prostate and anterior to the rectum.

I'm doing a report where iodine seeds are being placed for prostate cancer, and the ESL says, "the total was 22.9 Madam Curies of iodine." Maybe this is her way of being cute, but I don't think so because she sounds professional otherwise. She's a very good dictator and clear speaking too. Am I way off base thinking no way could Madam Curie be the correct term here? I'm thinking this has to be millicuries and should be transcribed as mCI. Maybe she'd think this was the appropriate abbreviation for Madam Curie too, who knows? Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I just don't think so!

I have worked for 3 years for 2 ENT docs who no longer perform surgery. They have just added a new doc to the practice and he does perform surgeries. He is describing the tonsils as essentially "kissing" on examination.  Is this correct? Thanks
A lot of the questions you have been
Subject: A lot of the questions you have been
asking are very, very basic. You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you. Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that. I hope that is the case. However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating. I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing. Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board. You have to stand on your own skills when testing. If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready. Good luck to you.
