Does anyone know if there is a site online where there is a list of normal values for serum vitamin levels? Thanks.

Knowing the resources available to you is a valuable asset also to your work and in testing...so what if you use this board for testing, as you will use for work too.   I am sure you are allowed to use online dictionaries, etc.

Resources for OP notes?
Subject: Resources for OP notes?

 


Is there anyone here who does operative notes and gynecology notes who could give me some websites to use for resources?  I am on an OB/GYN account and have operative notes.  I have trouble sometimes with the specific surgical instrument names and would greatly appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

My suggestion would be to purchase (if you do not already have)OB/GYN, equipment and surgical word books (Steadman's) my choice and you would be equipped to better perform your job.

experience.  I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts.  Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem.  Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again?  Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand.  That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told.  I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen."  I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Check out this link which discussed the Allred score and includes a chart.  There is indeed an Allred score pertaining to breast cancer, and doc could have dictated that.  Of course BI-RADS is a much more common term, but maybe, just maybe, it was Allred.   Let's hope Lauren's ears didn't miss a B-sound at the beginning.

and cares.

I am thankful we are allowed to still use 2 spaces after colons and periods. The main thing I hear about from QA is to transcribe dates in the format dictated, and that's hard for me because I'm used to making them all conform to the same format that is used in the demographics 00/00/00, even if they dictate "May 5th, '05."


I am going to send to QA. Cannot wait

I typed in hippurate. It's Methenamine Hippurate. Sorry for false alarm. Sometimes it works doing those reverse searches but I didn't think of doing that until after my post. Sorry.

I Googled this as I had never heard of it either. It got a couple of hits, but nothing reliable. I wouldn't use it unless you can find it in a reliable reference source. Can you give me some more of the paragraph? Maybe the sentences before and after, so I can see more of the context?

The only thing I did find that it could possibly be is spinal muscular atrophy. Could that possibly be it?

I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%
