Ortho Spine Ranges
Subject: Ortho Spine Ranges
Can't remember how to type a spinal range! If the patient has a surgery on the spine from C1 through C3, do you type C1-C3, or do you need to type out the "through?" Thanks in advance!

I wonder if anybody knows what the abbreviation for LD and PD are in chiropractic work?
chiropractic help
Subject: chiropractic help
I found out by calling the dr's office; PD=pelvic deficiency; LD=leg deficiency. I think they make up their own abbreviations as they go along.
I have another one though, I may ahve to call them. It is SNF, if you can help, please.

Hi, I am typing a new chiropractic account, need help with this word or phrase. Sounds like (phonetically): "quad-ray-sin and bor-en" tenderness or "quad-ray-sin and lor-en tenderness," grade 2.5 on the right, grade 2 on the left.
Any thoughts??
Thanks in advance!

I went on the internet and put in numbness of the legs, because that was one of the chief complaints. I figured it out, it is paresthesias, it is just the way he writes. Thanks anyway.

type out potassium chloride. Which I'm only too happy to do with a shortcut, LOL.

Subject: The account that I am on
The account I type is "almost verbatim". We type subcu, but in the lab values we have to expand the workds (alkaline phosphatase, et cetera). If a word is dictated that is not a known abbreviation, we have to type it out. I think each account is different, and as the other poster said, they should have given you an client form so that you would know what the hospital expects. Sounds like your guy kinda got his tail in a crack and felt like he needed to unload on a poor, innocent MT who was just trying to do her job! Hang in there!  W'e're cheering for you!

Does your account use the BOS 2?
Subject: Does your account use the BOS 2?
That's the source of the "Don't capitalize it when it stands alone" rule. My suggestion would be to follow BOS if your account uses that and to be consistent. Stedman's is (are?) notorious for inconsistency with this sort of thing.

Go with what your QA tells you. It may be acceptable but the doctor may not like/want it done that way. I've found every account has different rules and preferences.

Is this a verbatim account?
Subject: Is this a verbatim account?
If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.
