It's a fabulous idea, the seniors get to play games they haven't been able to in years, they get some exercise, it's a social event. Who knew video games would be so good for nursing homes?!?

His MRI arthrogram unfortunately has showed a fair amount of arthrosis. He has been read as having a superior labrale tear, but I think this is likely a normal sulcus.

TREATMENT/PLAN: I am going to put him on some meloxicam. We will see how this affects his osteoarthritis of the hip, and I will see him back as needed. We have talked also about using cushion-soled shoes, s/l fluid exercise program with a non-resistive stationary bike and swelling or the like.

How about a flexible exercise program...also
Subject: How about a flexible exercise program...also

you might want to change labrale to labral and instead of swelling, possibly swimming as part of the exercises?  Maybe re-listen again and see if you hear this.

As long as a testee is allowed to use reference material, etc. why should they not ask a question here? I personally research all of my own questions, but I do help out those that ask on this site, as well, if I know the answer. Besides, who made the above poster the "tester police" anyway? I saw no complaint from the administrator concerning multiple posts for a similar question.

He (or she, can't tell!) is saying peri J-tube abscess, which I am taking to mean there is an abscess in or around the J-tube insertion site, but peri-J-tube looks terrible and can't find periabscess or peri-abscess to reword the sentence. I have had this same dictator for the last 2 1/2 hours since I logged on!!!!

some people quote from this thing like it is the Bible or something, and it just is not. There are A LOT of doctors out there who do not adhere by the BOS and prefer their own guidelines. It does not make them wrong. It is just a matter of preference, more than anything. What's the AAMT gonna do, slap your hand if you don't use their guidelines?? shheesh. what a rip!

it's either "skull base structures" or even more likely "skull and bony structures".   I have never seen "scobi" in my years either, but see how it can be easily misunderstood as that for one the phrases above with a fast dictator.

It is a shame when the doctors do not specify what exactly they want quoted.  Tough call, but I agree "too busy".  You kind of have to put yourself in the doc's place.  Doc asks:  Are you exercising?  Pt. states:  "No, too busy.", or "No, I'm too bus."  That sort of thing....

you typed:  **You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine but not Mercy Hospital emergency department.**


I do not agree.....


You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency AND Mercy Hospital Emergency Department. 


You would NOT capitalize emergency department if you typed *emergency department at Mercy Hospital* or *radiation oncology department at Mercy Hospital....

The way you have it looks correct, but if there is no "and" after "flexion", I would either use a semicolon or start a new sentence.
