You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.

may not be saying flow, could be "for" no discrete ??? (poital, boital, vital) for (or flow or) active bleeding. He's ESL, but not too bad and with his dialect I think "portal" would sound clearer.

Doctor says * cardiac-wise the patient is doing well * OR * GI-wise he has had, blah blah blah blah...
I personally do not like the phrase * dash wise * The only way around it, seems to me, is to add a bunch more words like * as far as his cardiac condition is concerned * which does not sound like the dictator.
What do you do?

I'm doing a report on a hip arthroplasty, and the doctor says the Secur-Fit shell was driven into place in approximately 4520 parameter based off the sciatic notch.
Is that 45 x 20 or 45-20 or just as I have it above? I'm stumped!

I have a doctor who keeps saying axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein as if this is one vein he is referring to, but I think it has to be two, so how would you transcribe it when he lists the procedures performed as:
1. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical venous thrombectomy using the Trellis-8 device.
2. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein balloon angioplasty using a 10 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 6 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 7 mm x 4-cm long balloon.
3. Supervision and interpretation of fluoroscopy for performance of right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty.
He doesn't pause between the words axillosubclavian and brachiocephalic vein. Should there be a dash between the two or the word and?

If dictated as "four point oh," you would transcribe as 4.0.
The zero after the decimal indicates the precision of the measurement. In lab values, you would need to transcribe as dictated in order to avoid "changing" the measure.
If you transcribed it as 4, the reader would wonder what you left off. A zero in other locations might be optional or up to the preference of the facility, but not this one.

One doc I transcribe for just does his doctor "thing" to support his dog habit - breeding Labradors, training them for field trials, etc. And he has a habit of saying things backwards, like Tenmo needle for Temno needle and even things like humerotibial joint instead of femorotibial joint!
