how a debridement can be done with a suction. Must be really superfriable tissue! I'd give him a blank for that one.

I've heard a doc order his new loaded Lexus on his cell phone when he laid the phone down while dictating. Sounded like he was gettin' a pimpin' ride! I have also heard love making between a doctor and nurse (they were both married to other people). Ooohh, aahhhh. It was years ago, but was so funny. Sorry, just had to share ......
Funny you should say that (sm)

Because the next line is *Only other hospitalization is an appendectomy 13 years ago.* But what he is saying does not at all sound like appendectomy.

That's what I've got right now but it looks ridiculous.
Too funny. I was going to say the same thing.
The one person that "corrected" everything is gone. I sent every single piece of garbage that she emailed me with to my supervisor. Who has time for nonsense? It was obvious this QA person felt she was "in control" or something because her feedback was ridiculous.
I haven't been fired either. Go figure.

on WHICH "leg" he was referring to that was "nonpeeing." (sorry. couldn't resist) lol
Funny story
Subject: Funny story
Actually, that just reminded me of the surgeon who performed my cholecystectomy. The nurse accidently called him by his last name and he refused to acknowledger her until she apologized and called him Dr. X. Since I was the patient, and we were social friends, I completely gave him crap about it. He ended up apologizing to the nurse. lol

could he just be saying "here for very positive stool?" Makes no sense but sometimes with the language barrier, things come out, shall we say, awkwardly.

If I see it's a trademark registered item, I transcribe it like the manufacturer's website (like one see's on the product itself) and in this case, for me, it would be CAM Walker

new docs today and a phone ringing in the background at just the right spots. i just don't think coughing, sneezing would have to do with hand pain lol
chief complaint: hand pain.
female with numbness, tingling, and paresthesias involving the nerve root distribution for several years. It is not made worse with s/l coughing, sneezing, or Valsava maneuver.

for YEARS and then someone dictating will make you question it. This PA insists every time that it is A and not E. I finally had my lead MT call the hospital to tell her that averted eyelids is wrong! Thanks again.

I am trying to find out what exactly CHAD (as in the score for predicting stroke risk) stands for-anyone know??
Funny thing-l was checking Medilexicon for it and it also stands for "Chinese Hamsters with Spontaneous Diabetes" and "Chinese Hamsters of the Asahikawa Colony" although these do not match the letters in the acronym. My son and I were just laughing it up over this one and wondering if some country funded a study somewhere to study hamsters in China who spontaneously develop Diabetes!

couldn't have been in emails by posting for help from a mentor. If you'll notice on another forum on this website, I've pubically stated that I have mentored more than my share of newbies in the past. BUT, if you are posting entire reports, that would concern me from an MTSO standpoint as a breach of confidentiality even IF the patient's name and doctor's names have been deleted. I can tell it is a teaching/trauma hospital by the discharging service (so you can tell I'm not a newbie).
Also, do you know the people who run this board have to pay for the bandwidth of the posts here, so when you load it up with long reports, it costs them money.
BTW, yes, I've been in every setting possible in the health care industry other than doing procedures and practicing medicine and there wasn't someone there who enabled me and kept me from devloping my research skills. I do think you are now trained like Pavlov's dogs to come here and ask questions rather than do a little research (which could have been helpful especially with a simple word like posttussive)...just do some research first.
Another thought I had was that you might not be working for a service yet but simply doing classwork/homework and if people here are going to do it for you, then how exactly do you feel you've earned your grade (or if employed, your salarly?)
Just making observations and not excuses.

Could it possibly be "Ludwig's angina" -- which can be a complication of oral abscesses. I know that is a stretch from your s/l, but would make sense.
Your question had me googling for about an hour last night -- love to try and figure out things I don't know! if you ever find out the correct word, let us know.
Have a great day.

if it were P0-1, they usually say P zero one, but this dictator is saying P zero TO one, so I wondered about that. I am definitely no OB/GYN expert, though, so I am not sure.

Maybe I have been typing the wrong word for my plastic surgeons for 10 years....they wouldn't tell me anyway if I was incorrect...or rarely would....they always say fluctuant or fluctuance (in wounds and the ilk) - maybe they want flocculent and flocculence..I'm awful confuzzled now but thank you SO MUCH for the definition of that NEW word I learned today, flocculence....

I am wondering if the doctor is just reading what the patient wrote on a form as it may be Uroxatral. I have doctors that mess up on meds all the time, because they just believe the patient wrote it down correctly.
