Subject: Does anyone else get confused over these 2 works? (sm)
I usually have a hard time trying to figure out which one is best to use and sometimes just have to take a best guess. Anyone have any "tricks" to figure this out on a case-by-case basis? Thanks!

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.

track (track) (trak) 1. the path along which something moves, or the mark left by its movement. 2. of pus, to follow the path of least resistance through the tissues, e.g., along an intermuscular septum.
tract (tract) (trakt) [L. tractus] 1. a region, principally one of some length. 2. a collection or bundle of nerve fibers having the same origin, function, and termination (tractus [TA]); see also under bundle, fasciculus, and lemniscus. 3. a number of organs, arranged in series, subserving a common function.
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.

The only thing I have heard of is like stool cards but he is not saying cards. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
