EKG help - J Point
Subject: EKG help - J Point
Cardio doc dictates EKG as follows:
EKG demonstrates normal sinus rhythm at 61 beats per minute with normal axes, normal intervals, J point elevation 1 and 0; otherwise, no ischemic changes.
But just not sure on how to type the 1and 0 or if he is saying 0, but sounds for sure like 1. Anyone with any ideas. This is a new one on me? Any help appreciated!!!

Subject: Sometimes I think you can get to the point where
Someone new at this might have to look-up a lot things. Sometimes you just get to the end of your rope with researching especially when the doc isn't sounding too clear or the word is slurred. We must support one another though not tear each other down. Why can't people just go by the old saying of "if you do not have something nice to say then do not say anything at all". To come off like a know it all proves what? Absolutely nothing in my opinion. Not everyone is up on everything.

Although he does mention "near the perforation" later in the report.
My point is, docs sometimes use the abbreviations they use in speaking in their reports as well. Most of the time I will type them out, but it bugs me either way - I like to type verbatim and not add anything the doc didn't say, but if he says it wrong, what are you going to do? (Except maybe leave him a message.)

11-year-old with neurofibromatosis, autism, and behavioral disorder. Doc states, "He is on a multiplicity of medications including lithium, S/L hel-a-trek-sone, Abilify, gabapentin, and Trileptal.
He very clearly states this drug just like the S/L above, but I am finding nothing of the sort. Thanks for looking!

End point or endpoint?
Subject: End point or endpoint?
I have done ortho for many years and have always typed "endpoint" but I have noticed on some previous files typed by other MTs they use "end point." My stedman's ortho book lists it as "endpoint" (Lachman has a firm endpoint). Does anyone know which is preferred?

We all know what they mean. It's trying to decipher what the doc is saying when they barely open their mouths or are talking a mile a minute. When they say hyper___ or hypo____ and then never mention it again in the dictation, what to do? I think that's what she meant.

strep throat has become a common phrase. it should truly be Streptococcal pharyngitis, but that's too far of a stretch from verbatim. so, i guess i have to take it back that i never type slang, because strep throat seems acceptable.

? On trigger point injections
Subject: ? On trigger point injections
This is a trigger point injection into the quadrautus lumborum using 0.5 xylocaine and 0.25 cc s/l "alloquants". This is on a template that is already filled in for me but the word "alloquants" comes up as underlined in red and I cannot find any info online about what it should really be. Should I leave it in the template as-is? Or does someone know what it really should be?
Thanks!
