fold?
Subject: fold?

4 fold over the general population. If she were homozygous for this, her risk would be increased 80-100 fold.


When I look up "fold", it is defined as multiplying, but it uses "fourfold" as one word. Any ideas on this one. Is eighty-to-one-hundredfold correct?

Subject: ENT polyp removal surgery from vocal fold. sm for sentence pls. s/l formal surgical fashion.

Using formal surgical technique, complete excision of this lesion was performed while taking care to protect as much normal epithelium and underlying superficial lamina propria as possible


The FORMAL could also sound a little bit like funnel or fur-nel??  I don't think formal is right, but not sure what I am hearing.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

Anywhoo, the site: http://www.medabbrev.com/main.cfm (which you need to be a member of, I believe to access it), says cc is now to be changed to mL because it is listed as a dangerous abbreviation, along with a whole other list of em.

Subject: There are several x-rays that would show this

A KUB, and abdomen series, and of course a barium enema (which can be done with air contrast as well). And a CT or MRI of the pelvis, of course.


But it would be unusual to just state "no air in the rectum" unless the doctor is discussing a bowel obstruction or something similar. Can you give us more context?

Subject: Quick Look does show it as an IV dose (sm)

Benadryl® Injection  I.M., I.V.: 10-50 mg in a single dose every 2-4 hours, not to exceed 400 mg/day.


However, fentanyl would be more common in an OP note (at least that has been my experience) and could kinda sort sound like Benadryl).  Did they give any dosage?

fentanyl - Preoperative sedation, adjunct to regional anesthesia, postoperative pain: I.M., I.V.: 50-100 mcg/dose

Subject: I just don't think a spinal tap result would show xanthochromia.

I may be wrong, but this just doesn't seem quite right. I've copied and pasted the definition from my Stedman's electronic dictionary.

xanthochromia

The occurrence of patches of yellow color in the skin, resembling xanthoma, but without the nodules or plates. Syn: yellow disease, yellow skin(1), xanthoderma(1).
