palliative cells
Subject: palliative cells
Wasn't sure which board to put this on. I have 20-some years exp in onc, can usually Google to find new terms/meds etc, rarely have to leave blanks. One particular dictator (not a doc, a PA-C who is not only a mushmouth but also mispronounces everything) today stated that the pathology showed something-cells suspicious for carcinoma. It really sounded like he was saying "palliative" cells, but of course that doesn't make sense. I tried to make it into "palisading" cells but no, it definitely ended with "ive" not "ing" so I sent it to QA. I went back in the report later in the day and sure enough, QA had filled it in with "palliative" cells suspicious for carcinoma. What would you do? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't make sense at all to me. Even though it did sound like "palliative" cells, I really think he meant something else but was mispronouncing it. Any input?

Talking about a patient's discharge planning. I have always typed this disposition of care but my new co-workers type deposition. which is correct? thanks for help in advance.

It sounded to me as if the doc was saying the clinical picture suggested sleep apnea/COPD, not necessarily that the patient's appearance suggested these things. You know - "It looks to me like this patient has anemia."

I finally resorted to WAGs myself LOL!
I have ended up leaving a blank there, and I haaaaate doing that, but, given context, I just can't reason out any of my WAGs as being in my comfort zone!
I'll revisit it after another cuppa ;-), and I wondered about malleus too, but can't "make it make sense" in my poor head.
Thank you so much, Jade.

I found a hit on Google where I saw something written like 1, 2, 2, and then I started wondering if there was some special method like the T1N0M0 type of staging? It probably is as simple as 1 to 2, but now I'm all confused and just not sure, and I Google is just not coming through for me on this one.

brain natriuretic peptide (BNP, B-type) when it was for the heart, but nobody could ever explain it to me. Since I don't do that specialty and never had to spell it out, I wasn't too worried about it.

they should care
Subject: they should care
well, who should care? The MT him or herself. This can be a crutch IMO. And, no, my opinion doesn't amount to a pile o' beans in the grand scheme of things. Maybe my post should have been more helpful, than critical, and should have asked posters if they know how to search. I've gotten really good at it and can find just about anything really. For instance, someone just recently posted ligament of Treitz question. All I did was google, ligament of *. Bingo!
Anyway, to the person who said I should just use the back button, pfft.

2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.
Subject: 2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.
Local and MAC (monitored anesthesia care) are 2 types of anesthesia, so probably "Local/MAC" would be best. However, I don't think I have ever been dinged on QA for typing "Local MAC" with a space.
Here is a link to an article on anesthesia types.
