Subject: If you google palmer point incision
Several articles pop up with "The left subcostal site in the midclavicular line (Palmer's point) was the site of choice" AND "Use of Palmer’s point (left subcostal incision) for primary port entry to undertake therapeutic laparoscopy", ECT. It has to be Palmer's point.

Is she just spelling Palmer's point WRONG?
Subject: Is she just spelling Palmer's point WRONG?
Why do they even BOTHER to spell things out if they are going to spell it wrong?? I'm thinking it has to be Palmer's point. Anyone agree?

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

EKG help - J Point
Subject: EKG help - J Point
Cardio doc dictates EKG as follows:
EKG demonstrates normal sinus rhythm at 61 beats per minute with normal axes, normal intervals, J point elevation 1 and 0; otherwise, no ischemic changes.
But just not sure on how to type the 1and 0 or if he is saying 0, but sounds for sure like 1. Anyone with any ideas. This is a new one on me? Any help appreciated!!!

Subject: Sometimes I think you can get to the point where
Someone new at this might have to look-up a lot things. Sometimes you just get to the end of your rope with researching especially when the doc isn't sounding too clear or the word is slurred. We must support one another though not tear each other down. Why can't people just go by the old saying of "if you do not have something nice to say then do not say anything at all". To come off like a know it all proves what? Absolutely nothing in my opinion. Not everyone is up on everything.

Although he does mention "near the perforation" later in the report.
My point is, docs sometimes use the abbreviations they use in speaking in their reports as well. Most of the time I will type them out, but it bugs me either way - I like to type verbatim and not add anything the doc didn't say, but if he says it wrong, what are you going to do? (Except maybe leave him a message.)

We all know what they mean. It's trying to decipher what the doc is saying when they barely open their mouths or are talking a mile a minute. When they say hyper___ or hypo____ and then never mention it again in the dictation, what to do? I think that's what she meant.
