Thanks for all the input.  It is helpful to get opinions from other MTs with more experience. I really love coming here for advice and trying to give some if I can. 

Good afternoon everyone.  I'm in need of some second opinions please.  When typing medication dosages, I have always transcribed them the same way for the last 12-1/2 years.  For example, Lortab 5 mg q.4h. p.r.n. pain. 

I have worked for the same company for a little over two years now and have never had QA say anything about this until last month, when I got a QA audit marking it off and changing it to Lortab 5 mg q. 4h. p.r.n. (with a space between the q. and the 4h.)  I thought okay, maybe I've been transcribing it incorrectly all lthis time and a new QA person picked up on it.  It happens, no big deal. 

So, I started transcribing it their way with the space, as in q. 4h.  and didn't think anything more about it.  Yesterday, I get another audit.  This time, I get dinged for typing it the way they wanted it the last audit q. 4h. with the space with a note stating it should be q.4h. with no space (the way I had been typing it). 

Now, I know they have been messing with all of the MTs big time lately, making changes daily from everything to hours, pay, policies, and procedures for vacation, days off, etc.  You name it, they've been doing it, and I really think they are trying to either find a reason to fire some of us or drive us to the point of insanity until we quit, but despite the games, I still want to make sure I'm doing my job correctly.  If I've been doing something wrong, I would like to correct it ASAP, except now I have no idea which one is correct. 

Sorry for the long, drawn out post, but I'm totally confused now and beyond frustrated.  Now, I'm questioning myself on everything, and I have no idea which way is correct as far the space or no space with the medication dosages.  Thank you for taking the time to read my question and rant.  I would appreciate any and all opinions on how you all transcribe this! 

tackers listed at http://www.lapsearch.net/default.aspx?searchTerm=us%20surgical%20tackers === but not your S/L.

I did find ABSOLOK ligating clips but not your S/L. Sorry.

Not used to this specialty:

Doc is doing an anterior/posterior colporrhaphy with placement of mesh and a s/l ""perigee""? 

Thanks for any help!!

a transvenous ______________ was used to remove a 5” portion of the Mediport catheter which had embolized to the left lung.

Sounds like snearate or cinerate ??????

any ideas?

The surgeon was doing a small bowel resection and he said, the bowel was clamped off with bowel occluding clamps with (spelled like it sounds) LINENSHODS.  I have had this before some time ago, but I cannot find it. Anyone have any ideas? 

I'm working on a transcription and under Past Medical History the doc says.... s/l "keyaray" one surgery in childhood.  Any help out there????

Thanks

looking for correct spelling of sl krakhour stitch???

I have an odd word that I can't seem to find.  The dictator plainly says a GYN surgical instrument s/l "AQUA PUROLATOR."  Seems to be a device for cautery.  Any ideas?

s/l? fishacod tractor

to secure the scalp in clipping aneurysm

Doctor is dictating laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.  Sounds like he is saying "piece of Combasex barred mesh" was placed.  Cannot find this anywhere.

Thanks in advance

where can I find different type of surgical knots... I keep coming across Krakour?? can't seem to find it any of my books..

This sounds like grand or gran or something along that line.

perforation of the duodenal ulcer which was closed using a ___ patch

THX in advance!

Okay here are the procedures...

1.  Repair of FDP tendon.

2.  Repair of one fascicle laceration of the ulnar digital nerve.

3.  Repair of pulley tendon.

4.  Radial digital neurolysis (indicated given the ulnar digital nerve partial laceration.)

5.  Repair of A4 pulley.

I am then hearing in the narrative summary:

The tendon was repaired with a modified Kessler suture.  This was somewhat compromised by the skiving cut angled distally with minimal tendon at the insertion for the repair.  However, adequate tissue was apparently purchased.

Purchased is the word I am questioning??

... probed with a kissner s/l probe through the foramina.

Any idea about the correct name/spelling name of that probe?  This is at conclusion of a microdiscectomy.  Thanks for any help.

sounds like "Hargower" blade ?? used in a surgical excisoin. I have no clue. 

Thanks!
