I thought I saw my post come up four times, but now I don't see it at all, so I'll ask one more time. Hopefully this works and I haven't been too annoying!
Okay, so the patient has bilateral otitis externa "and is having a lot of swelling in the [s/l "D man"] and in the nasal mucosa. I injected it with Depo-Medrol and Marcaine and put him on Flonase."
I feel like I should be catching this but I'm stumped! Any ideas?
Confused.
I was transcribing last night on a woman and the doc said quite clearly, twice, that she was post vasectomy. Okay, I figured that maybe this female once was a male. However, by the end of the report I knew that this was not the case. Anyway, I left a QA marker as I figured what the doc said was incorrect and I did not want to be the one to type that information down. I checked on the report today and QA had put in vasectomy, just as I thought he said.
Okay, so my question is: can women get vasectomies?? I thought it was impossible, but after yesterday my confidence is shaken. Women don't have the vas for the ectomy. If I am correct, then why would QA leave something so erroneus in a report? If it were me I would have left it blank.
Please, someone correct me if I am totally wrong.

This is according to Dorland's online dictionary. I too get confused but I think it should be track.

Examination of his left foot shows there is normal configuration. With plantar pressure between the third and fourth metatarsal head and compression, a popping sensation is elicited, consistent with a Morton’s neuroma.
Shouldn't there be a period after configuration? I am so confused every time I read it I come up with something different.
Above I have it with a period after configuration. Do I have that wrong?? tia again.

In earlier days I was assured that guide wire was a generic term and Guidewire was a brand name, but I sure see it in a lot of sources where it is not capped.
My best guess is yes, cap it, or check with your QA department if you have one.

Confused MT Student
Subject: Confused MT Student
Okay I am just about 80% done with my MT course that I am taking on line and have come up against something very confusing to me. I thought I would ask about it here since my school (this is another story) does not give much feedback at all to my questions. Is it ALWAYS standard to put headings i.e. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS, REVIEW OF SYSTEMS, etc. when not dictated in a History and Physical Exam report? I have been marked off for not doing this in the past on this particular report and now I am about to submit one for grading and the whole report is dictated without headings. The vital signs are also separate from the PHYSICAL EXAM section and that section is worded in sentence form. I am nervous about submitting it and getting marked wrong again. Any advice??
