This piqued my interest and I googled "beetle nuts" with mouth cancer. Turns out there really is a connection. Apparently it's a leading cause of mouth cancer in Taiwan, where I guess they chew on a lot of beetle nuts. Hmm, you learn something new every day!

Another interesting term is distention. (sm)
Subject: Another interesting term is distention. (sm)
There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:
* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.
Interesting words, dystocia and eutocia. sm
Subject: Interesting words, dystocia and eutocia. sm
Dystocia is defined as abnormal or difficult labor. The opposite of dystocia is eutocia, which is normal labor. Dystocia is often an indication for operative delivery, with its associated complications.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS. They are interested in quality work. It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it. I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine. btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it. She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants. Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM
after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods. Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).
Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.
Probably too late, I'm sure. Better late than never, I guess.

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!!!!

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!

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.

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....

with anything, except the 80.00 they want you to spend on it every year, when they keep changing things just to make someone buy it. I can live without it, and my docs say Baker's cyst and want it typed that way.

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.

Subject: and I agree......sm
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).
