cyamella
Subject: cyamella

Yup, it really is a word, it is synonymous with a popliteal sesamoid bone as far as I know (in other words, a little bone located in the tendon). Nowadays, people tend to call it a sesamoid bone.   Hope that is helpful.

Thank you very much for this information - I did do a google search but only read the first two pages and believe they were in Spanish or Italian - some language I was not familiar with and could not read. Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.

Subject: it seems that some answers are just thrown--sm

out there with no real correlation to the question asked in the first place, and also given with global *ALL* circumstances, as well as being issued with a huge arrogant attitude as in that being the ONLY answer to the question, and also the person answering the question giving the distinct impression that they are superior to every one else on the board who are trying to *help*, simply because of her employment position and her *experience*. arrogance and superiority complexes are not viewed kindly on this board and some will definitely attempt to put that person *in their place*. We have to be careful of the answers we give to some questions, because inaccurate answers can affect the patient we are transcribing about. most of the people answering questions like to supply referenced documentation of what they think the answer should be and not just sling out sound-alike answers whether it pertains to the question or not, and saying that MTs are always off base with their questions and the sound-alikes are an attempt to get them thinking in the right direction. That approach will only get *made fun of* or a severe criticism. This is simply my observation and an attempt at an explanation. Everyone on this board tries to help, but it is the attitude that help is given in, which is important. Being QA does not necessarily make someone superior to someone else and a QAs answers are not always correct.

Subject: correct answers most definitely can be found on

The correct answer(s) can ALWAYS be found online and I have tons of reference books (which become outdated as technology presses on).  The internet is putting libraries out of business and if you don't think so....just watch and wait.  Business at libraries is HEAVILY DOWN due to this.


There are very 100% reliable websites to find ALL answers and websites that Medquist wants us to use.  It's less time consuming actually for some to find the correct answers online.  You can back it up by also looking in the books.


Lighten up on the poster please.  You can say what you want to or have to say, but have you ever heard of being kind to posters or other people in life?

Subject: No, I know how to research, thank you.

However, it's a verbatim account.  When QA and the doctor send it back to me telling me to do what they say, I do it no matter what my reference book or spellchecker say.  The physicians are the ones who are making up new words or combining things, not me.

Well said. I have always enjoyed helping people find answers and I have received a lot of good help
The most important thing is to learn how to do research and how to frame a question so that you can get a useful answer. If you learn how to get the answer and know it is correct, then you are on the way to doing a good job as an MT.

diseases of the genitals, I get a lot of hits to porn sites.  Is that proper research?  We have no way of knowing whether the hits the OP got were investigated, so does that still count as research?   Maybe in your book, but not in mine.

Subject: ok...did more research...it's "pillar" sm

Apparently in CTS release, "pillar pain" is common. Found this:
After surgery, the healing edges of the ligament beneath the skin are usually tender for at least four to six weeks after the procedure. Temporary tenderness on each side of the palm where the ligament is attached to the bones on each side of the palm to these bones is common after surgery and is called "pillar pain". This generally resolves gradually. Hand therapy is often helpful during recovery.

I'm doing a psychiatric consultation by an Asian dictator, and he says this patient has been living in s/l Fiocor House or ThreeCor House for the last several months due to alcohol and drug problems.  This is for one of my accounts in Michigan.  I can't understand this pronunciation well enough to get a good s/l for Google, so what would ya'll recommend doing to find this darned term?

He says ..... was captured in the ciliary sulcus. It s/l he says haptic but from my research I find that the haptic is in the sulcus. Never saying it is captured. The optic is captured in the bag. So I am a wee bit confused. Any help would be great. Thanks.

If this help is needed all that emergently you should practice putting the word in the subject line so the reader doesn't have to open up all these darn boxes.

Subject: You are not developing her research skills

Not to flame but how is she doing it "on her own" with a full critique done here in public.  And I'll ask again, why isn't her QA helping her in the way they want her trained or giving her links to document her answers so she can research.  One learns better when one does for themselves rather than being fed by the silver spoon.

Subject: Yeah, but I believe the OP did mention that research had been done...sm

The OP had used Google and found instances of both words being used. Sounds more like the OP was looking for some help with the proper usage of the word in the context of a report. I don't see why she (or he) caught any grief for asking for opinions on the proper term to use.
