This piqued my interest and I googled "beetle nuts" with mouth cancer. Turns out there really is a connection. Apparently it's a leading cause of mouth cancer in Taiwan, where I guess they chew on a lot of beetle nuts. Hmm, you learn something new every day!

Subject: Another interesting term is distention. (sm)
There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:
* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS. They are interested in quality work. It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it. I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine. btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it. She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants. Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).
