antibiotics for dental exams and dental work
Subject: antibiotics for dental exams and dental work

This is SBE prophylaxis (subacute bacterial endocarditis) which is given to patients with heart valve disease.  When dental work is done, this causes the bacteria from the mouth to go into the system and can cause vegetation on one or more of the heart valves....which is a very serious and possibly life-threatening situation.  Most surgeries require this be done before the procedure, even certain nonsurgical procedures that may be less invasive, require it as well.  However, the guidelines are less stringent than they were previously.  Hope this helps.

Question about eye exam...when everting lids on eye exam (sm)
Subject: Question about eye exam...when everting lids on eye exam (sm)

It is EVERT, not AVERT, right? I have always typed it with an E but I have a PA who keeps insisting it is A.  I always thought Avert applied to gaze, as if to look away.  Just want to make sure everting the eyelid is the right term.  TIA.

As long as a testee is allowed to use reference material, etc. why should they not ask a question here? I personally research all of my own questions, but I do help out those that ask on this site, as well, if I know the answer. Besides, who made the above poster the "tester police" anyway? I saw no complaint from the administrator concerning multiple posts for a similar question.

He (or she, can't tell!) is saying peri J-tube abscess, which I am taking to mean there is an abscess in or around the J-tube insertion site, but peri-J-tube looks terrible and can't find periabscess or peri-abscess to reword the sentence. I have had this same dictator for the last 2 1/2 hours since I logged on!!!!

Subject: Yes, I agree with that but--sm

some people quote from this thing like it is the Bible or something, and it just is not. There are A LOT of doctors out there who do not adhere by the BOS and prefer their own guidelines. It does not make them wrong. It is just a matter of preference, more than anything. What's the AAMT gonna do, slap your hand if you don't use their guidelines?? shheesh. what a rip!
I would agree with you that...
Subject: I would agree with you that...

it's either "skull base structures" or even more likely "skull and bony structures".   I have never seen "scobi" in my years either, but see how it can be easily misunderstood as that for one the phrases above with a fast dictator.

Subject: I agree

It is a shame when the doctors do not specify what exactly they want quoted.  Tough call, but I agree "too busy".  You kind of have to put yourself in the doc's place.  Doc asks:  Are you exercising?  Pt. states:  "No, too busy.", or "No, I'm too bus."  That sort of thing....

Enclosure (MRI results)


I believe the Enclosure is for the therapist's review of the MRI results since the letter is addressed to the therapist.

What I do...


The patient is a pleasant, elderly, overweight, chronically ill-appearing, 72-year-old white female.


That's just my way, as I use commas to separate adjectives (any description before you get to the word female).

you typed:  **You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine but not Mercy Hospital emergency department.**


I do not agree.....


You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency AND Mercy Hospital Emergency Department. 


You would NOT capitalize emergency department if you typed *emergency department at Mercy Hospital* or *radiation oncology department at Mercy Hospital....


that's how I was taught 25 yrs ago..........
