she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it. I responded very simply to that. I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so. I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus. This is all correct. What is your problem. I was trying to help an MT with correct and verfified medical transcription help, now I know why I stay away from any message boards, always someone who wants a fight. Whatever.

I can't think of the word you are looking for (I think it's a regular English word though). But I think the doc is perplexed with the constellation of sx rather than consolation.

usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report. He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0. The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG?? Thanks

The poster centimeter exactly the way most dictators say it - cenemeter... that, and the fact poster could not remember how to type half of one made me think OP may be an off-shore MT (and possibly using an elite anonymous proxy so that nobody would know). Of course, I'm just surmising as I personally have no *proof*.......

Your query relates to a medical condition found originating and usually found on Deer Isle, Maine. It is believed to be the result of in-breeding over
generations of the Haskell and Hardy families when the island of Deer Isle was
isolated from the mainland. There are other instances of genetic disorders occuring where similar circumstances have existed in past times. The disease results in severe deformity of the ankles and feet.

"Johnny" as slang for a hospital gown, that is. He said yes, he had, and he was pretty sure it's British slang. I told him what I'd found, which was that it can also be slang for a condom, and he too wondered just exactly what was REALLY going on in that hospital bed.... :)

Perhaps that poster was in the middle of a report.......so one wants the answer ASAP...but for years I mistyped Mohs....thought it was MOHS.....you know, like a flap in surgery.....and alot of them are all caps.....then my friend had to have Mohs surgery and I learned.

type verbatim. The doc is saying pussy and that is what she should type.
If you look in the dictionary, there is a definition for pussy which means "full of or resembling pus".
You can't say "no way is "pussy" correct. You are telling her to alter the sentence and she said it is a verbatim account. It is a word.
If it is not verbatim, then alter away but you better be careful if you do this a lot.

each lab has their own specs. also, when a doc says low blood count, he would normally mean wbc; however, a lot of times, the doc would talking about the hemoglobin. to be safe, i would just type what he says.

I read both of your posts and it was a bit confusing to me. If you are asking what the word *saline* may be than that would clear it up. The confusion is that you put *saline s/l*. Normally, people put the s/l before the word they are trying to figure out. If there is another word in the sentence that goes after saline, you have to give us what it sounds like. If the sounds like is saline, that would help to clear it up.
