Help with external fixator slang
Subject: Help with external fixator slang
On this account slang words are typed as dictated. For external fixator he dictates ex-fix. Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix? It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.
Thanks!

I'm doing a Review of Records list, and it says Request for AX to refer PT to a "Psych." I was thinking it meant access, but I don't know if that would make sense. Anybody know what AX stands for in this example? Thanks!
P.S. If it's obvious, bear with me, I'm a newbie still. LOL
short example
Subject: short example
All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.

I doubt you could get all that with one keystroke. I don't have anything with just one key stroke. You could, however, try something like endx that is 4 strokes, but the whole thing would pop out. Here is what I do cad = CAD, cadx = coronary artery disease, and so on.

I am short on time to do a thorough search here.
What I need are links to cancer terminology. Does any onc specialist have a favorite site you could post for me? Mostly looking for drugs and combination therapies, their abbreviations.
Thank you VERY MUCH in advance if you could help me out.
I changed computers since doing specialized cancer and lost my links.
