Risks involved of recurrent infection, bleeding, wound problems including hernias and ?stump leak?were explained.
With the patient in the supine position under satisfactory general endotracheal anesthesia with ?FCDs? in place, the abdomen was prepped and sterilely draped
It was grasped with an Allen's clamp and the ?musil? appendix was serially divided and ligated with 2-0 Vicryl suture.
Peritoneum was closed with 2-0 Vicryl and the anterior fascia was closed with figure-of-eight ?zero PBS"?.

Risks involved of recurrent infection, bleeding, wound problems including hernias and "stump leak" were explained.
With the patient in the supine position under satisfactory general endotracheal anesthesia with "FCDs" in place, the abdomen was prepped and sterilely draped
It was grasped with an Allen's clamp and the "musil" appendix was serially divided and ligated with 2-0 Vicryl suture.
Peritoneum was closed with 2-0 Vicryl and the anterior fascia was closed with figure-of-eight 0 ("zero PBS").

A window was created at the base of the appendix at the junction with the cecum. This was confirmed by splaying of the s/l tinea or pinna. I know these are both wrong, but the closest sound alikes I could muster up. I got the hospital's bad boys today...

The most basic medical terminology course (my first course 27 years ago) teaches all about the *o* use as a connecting letter for words in medical terminology. If you haven't even learned that yet, how is it exactly that you are an MT? *very curious*

Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.

You have to listen to the diagnoses to figure out which one to use because the doctors rarely specifically differentiate between the two. I had one who used to say, "That's B, N as in Nancy, P."

Opposition is the movement whereby the palmar aspect of the thumb touches the palmar aspect of another finger of the same hand. (When the contact is not by their palmar aspects, the movement is merely apposition.) The converse of opposition is reposition. These movements occur at all the joints of the thumb, although opposition takes place mainly at the carpometacarpal joint.(source--Dartmouth.edu)
