We're not allowed to do that even with surgery. Plus, docs usually say, for instance, 2:30 position or at 2:30.

If it is business correspondence, I would use the person's "official" first name. If it is a personal letter, I would use the nickname.
If you're not sure, I would advise leaving it blank.

Subject: Usually depends on the type of report
While account specifics vary from hospital to hospital, I don't think I've had a hospital with an H&P that didn't require that you separate out the headings; discharge summaries, on the other hand, are usually allowed to be in paragraph form, and consults are a toss-up. Clinic/office notes are totally a matter of account specifics. When you get into specialty clinics, they sometimes break it down even further; i.e., an ENT doctor may separate out HEAD: EYES: EARS:, etc., and a neurologist may do MENTAL STATUS: CRANIAL NERVES: STRENGTH: REFLEXES, etc. However, in most cases, if the doctor uses headings in an exam for some of the systems/body parts, you usually are to use the appropriate ones for all; as noted, though, that is dependent on account specifics.

Subject: Depends on what ports you have on laptop and type of cable you have on the screen...sm
If you have the matching ports and cables, I believe you can do this. I use my regular sized kb on my daughter's laptop all the time. Should be the same concept? If your screen has a usb cable, plug it into the laptop usb port. The laptop should recognize the new hardware and "install" it.
If you have a parallel port, the kind with the prongs that insert into the tower and then screws to tighten, you may have to install a parallel port into your laptop. Don't know if this is as easy to do as on a desktop or not.

Subject: I think this is the type of incision used in Head and Neck Surgery. see inside
Schobinger 1957-(fig 3a and 3b) Higher horizontal incision allows easier access to oral cavity and
various modifications for posterior vertical limb.
Shorter superior flap allows midline lip splitting extension with less likelihood of loss of tip (Becker 1984, fig 3c)
Also found:
Surgical treatment of many tumors of the head and neck require extended approaches. Many cervicotomies have been described in the treatment of head and neck and cervical tumors; careful thought must be made by a surgeon when surgical treatment is planned for an extended tumor.Our purpose is to show the versatility of the modified Schobinger incision.

i've never really looked it up, but the docs say it so often i give it to them. my guess is that edema would create a gas in the soft tissues. or, they say something thing interosseous gas --- just my guess, but it's frequently dictated on my radiology reports.

It usually takes me twice the time to transcribe the work. If the doc is easy and you can go right from one template/document to the next, it should only take you like 4 hours at the most. 10-12 hours is an awful long time. What kind of interruptions are you getting.

I have an ortho doc that insists on using it the way the dictionary shows it, follow-up. He is not of old school, very young and a professor. Says it is his biggest pet peeve to see it ever used without the hyphen, and doesn't care much for BOS rules.
So, when in doubt, I do it exactly the way the dictator wants it no matter what I think.

It honestly depends on your employer's guidelines. Check with your Editor/QA staff. Sometimes there is just no way to make a doc make sense on paper without changing everything around and so it's easier just to really type verbatim; some docs only need a tweak here and there, so you really need to find out what 'verbatim' means as applied to the account you are working on.

leeway you have. With the comma there, it looks strange. If you have to transcribe verbatim, I would put a hyphen....thus, * New patient - arm pain...* If you have more leeway you could make a sentence * This is a new patient with a chief complaint of arm pain *. If that is too much and looks like you are padding lines, then you could try just * New patient with arm pain *

I think it depends on the state where you want the information.
type for a hospital in Washington state, and they have a state licensure site with just about everything in the same site (i.e. physicians and physical therapists, nurses, etc. )
On the other hand, Arizona has only the doctors in its doctor database, and you have go to the Arizona physical therapist site to search for them.
Generally, when I first start typing a particular state, it takes a while to build up a set of search sites, but as I find them I add them to my favorites and then create a category for that state, so I don't have to search so much the next time.
Have a great day.

It depends on if it is modifying something.
The diameter of the wound is 1 cm.
There is a 2-cm length length discrepancy.
That's how I decide whether to hyphenate or not. On plural numbers, you can something tell if it should be hyphenated if it is said singular - i.e. six centimeters = 6 cm or six centimeter difference 6-cm difference
does that help?
