Subject: How would you handle this?
I have a doc who rather consistently uses the word "escharrified," meaning to him covered with eschar. "Scarified" really doesn't have anything to do with the already-existing presence of scars, and having an eschar isn't even close. But he keeps using it, and the general rule, as we know, is verbatim transcribing. I've been using it the way he says is for a while, now, but I feel like I'm crossing my fingers behind my back every time, and I WILL NOT add it to the spell checker dictionary!
Just wanted to poll other MTs out there and see how you would handle it and maybe get a consensus. Thanks!

why point it out? I highly doubt this newbie will blame this board for anything. She is going to learn new things from this board as we all have. She obviously was just feeling a little frustrated. But to blatently point it out I think is being a tattle tale. It is too bad you didn't have anyone to assist you. Neither did I at that time, but to blatently make her look bad on this board makes it seem like you are jealous or something. Aren't we supposed to be helping one another? If she lands the job, believe me, it won't be because she asked a verbatim question on this board. More than likely, this poor girl will land a job not paying very much and learn from that. She will eventually gain experience and knowledge.  All of us experienced ones won't live forever. We need to support out future not rat them out.

Flipped bucket handle?
Subject: Flipped bucket handle?
I am reading a report for my mother and I am new to radiology and this is what I have:
"There is a large flipped bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus, anterior horn body and posterior horn with a large flipped component sitting in the anterior intercondylar notch"
What in the world does this mean in layman's terms? Is anybody willing to help? We are nervous because her MRI was yesterday and the surgeon called to get her in tomarrow morning already. I hope somebody knows what in the world this means. Thanks!
