Agree with you on that one. I have type V.A.C. and I was told VAC.
Subject: Agree with you on that one. I have type V.A.C. and I was told VAC.
I find V.A.C. in Vera Pyle Medical Terminology and VAC in Surgical Word Book. If you ask me, they both are correct, but we need to go by what our particular accounts tell us. I believe we all work for different companies, hence different client profiles.

same here. Type out numbers at beginning of sentences. Otherwise type numeral if in sentence itself.

Siewart type I or Siewert type I
Subject: Siewart type I or Siewert type I
When I google it, I'm finding both. Cannot locate it in a Stedman's book. Doctor spells with "a" but you can't always go by the spellings!
How do I type this particular type of dialysis bath? sm
Subject: How do I type this particular type of dialysis bath? sm
Doc is an ESL and unclear, but it s/l he is saying "...using a 3 K 21/2 bath." I have never had this in a report and after googling, am still as clueless as I was. I cannot find it in AAMT, either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm
Subject: how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm
Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
Type II diabetes vs. Type 2....sm
Still running into confusion about this....which is it? If Type 2, was this a medical community change accepted by all?

It might help to know the specialty. I am finding a lithiasis, but I don't think it would relate to gonorrhea, are you sure it is gonorrhea?

simple question but how is a blood type transcribed .. such as 0+ .. is there a space between the 0 and + or is the word positive typed out? Thanks for your help.

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!!!!
Agree with you...

And after all that, the most professional and correct answer would actually be...leave a blank ;)

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!
I would agree with you that...
Subject: I would agree with you that...
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.

I think the "reostis" is "sphero" and "sight" is "cyte" -- giving the word "spherocyte".

Very nice people that have saved my tail from the chopblock! LOL

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....

with anything, except the 80.00 they want you to spend on it every year, when they keep changing things just to make someone buy it. I can live without it, and my docs say Baker's cyst and want it typed that way.

cc: Patient Name
Enclosure (MRI results)
I believe the Enclosure is for the therapist's review of the MRI results since the letter is addressed to the therapist.
and I agree......sm
Subject: and I agree......sm
What I do...
The patient is a pleasant, elderly, overweight, chronically ill-appearing, 72-year-old white female.
That's just my way, as I use commas to separate adjectives (any description before you get to the word female).

I believe they're saying C&S for culture and sensitivity although double check the client profile to see if you're suppose to spell it out or leave as is.

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....
that's how I was taught 25 yrs ago..........

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.
