Subject: Hmmm, I can think of a number of

things, but nothing like your s/l.  Usually the doctor will address any occupational exposure such as asbestos or silica, noxious fumes, etc. which may be encountered in a factory or manufacturing environment.  Could you maybe tweak your s/l a little?

I think this must be it. The patient is a 72 yo in the ER with diarrhea so I have no clues as to her past medical history. Ugggh, hate it when docs spell also.

I guess I'll just leave Levoxyl alone. 


Thanks :)

PENT ICCP

could it be anti-CCP?

P(ENT I)CCP

But that would still leave the P to be determined. I also would like to know if he spelled PENT or if he said it.

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:

get formolent = ___ for a minute

OR

get formolent = get 4 ____

as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"

I wish I could be more help...
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...

Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy.  It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy. 
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...

The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive.  I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.

Actually after listening to that one at least 50 times, I could get nothing else from it.  A Cobb can be a retractor or elevator.  In this case, it was used to scrape vertebrae...I did find micro-Cobb.  But it really didn't sound a bit like that.  Macoa or Mikoa perhaps, but I tried every spelling I could think of.  Oh well...it's a mystery, and the report went to proofing, but it left me curious.  Thanks!

Subject: hmmm, was that meant for my post??

Not sure, Harsh attitude meant for me?? I don't see any anon posts either?? All seem to have a name/initial. The written word gets lost in translation, can't possibly know what is really meant, no inflection heard.  Glad you asked though.  Perhaps it is how you are reading the posts, ya think?   My post was meant just like I said, if somebody wants it in a certain way that is the way you do it. You don't argue and trying to "be right" If you go searching to get an okay to do it another way, thid will only create problems for you.  You need to think on it.

Subject: Hmmm. He's not saying "denudations" by any chance? sm

I'm thinking it might read:

Denudations x3, right second and fifth DIPJ, and right hallux.

I could be way off. I don't know what nucleations could be unless he has his own meaning for the term. Denudations would make sense if the patient had injured his foot (degloving) or if it were ulcers denuding the epithelium.

You can always just leave it and flag it "as dictated." That would cover you.

Wish I could be of more help.

I had to send it back already with blanks and a note to my coordinator for some help. this sounds pretty close, as in the note to the referring physician, he mentioned a urine test for this too. It is hard to believe a one year old baby would have something like this though, but I do appreciate your help. I will let you know when I find out definitely what it is. oh, and I am hopped up on Hershey kisses with caramel, so don't feel bad! LOL. thanks again. I have a feeling this might be it.

I really don't know. It's a school assigned transcript looking for a I guess "Text Book" way of transcribing it. But all she dictates is
Pyscho was consulted. for her 'Hospital Course.' ... So I was confused at to whether leave it or expand.. but as I see what your saying.. because when I expand it those ways.. doesn't really make sense.. maybe they are wanting me to realized that and not expand but "" the report.

Thanks for replying so fast.  Actually, my question was on the J point elevation s/l "1 and ?"  Kind of sounded like 1 and the letter "o", but doesn't make sense.  Didn't know if maybe he was speaking of a certain lead, but doesn't sound close to anything.  Thanks so much for your time!!!!  :-)
number rules?
Subject: number rules?

Two of my teachers taught different number rules. One, said that they should almost always be numeral form. The other said that numbers are usually spelled out.
I believe the Book of Style says numerals are usually appropriate, accept for zero, at the beginning of a sentence, drug admin. abrev's., etc..
Anyone? Numerals right? With acceptions? I'm just starting.
