Fosamax
Subject: Fosamax
Doc says 70 mg daily, should this not be weekly? I am leaving a QA marker just in case. Thought about changing it to weekly, but I am not a doc, just a transcriptionist!
Fosamax dosage-sent to QA
Subject: Fosamax dosage-sent to QA
I sent a note to my supervisor about the doc saying Fosamax 70 mg daily, not weekly, after I sent it to QA and the QA person left it daily.
THIS IS FROM MY SUPERVISOR:
I listened to the report and I heard daily--not weekly. It also can be given in a 70 mg dosage.
So, it did me no good to send it to QA or to my supervisor. I found it weekly, but not daily. I asked her to send me where she found it 70 mg daily, because when I do a search, nothing comes up for me. If I am wrong, I am sorry for blowing off steam, but if I am right-- YEA ME!!!

Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Subject: Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.

meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg
Subject: meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg
Suddenly Im very confused - I have always typed it as taken at q.h.s. but now the doc says to be taken AC and HS. Is this typed capital letters per my Abbreviations book or a.c. and h.s.? I have the same problem with a.m. and p.m. I assume there is a rule about this but not sure what the latest would be. This is a new doc and I normally do not type meds so I am rusted. Thanks in advance.

Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Subject: Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Sounds like they are stating either "Zometa" or "someta" to be prescribed for insomnia. I can't find anything on someta (or anything close to that spelling) and Zometa looks like it is for bone health and can cause insomnia but probably isn't prescribed to prevent insomnia. Any suggestions? Thanks!
