Subject: Just to clarify, your answer is tampon. Ignore the argument below. SM

Definition for tampon, according to Doland's Medical Dictionary:


tampon (tam·pon) (tam´pon) [Fr. “stopper, plug”]  a pack; a pad or plug made of cotton, sponge, or other material; variously used in surgery to plug the nose, vagina, etc., for the control of hemorrhage or the absorption of secretions.


(emphasis mine)


A tampon is simply a plug which can be used in a body cavity (male or female) to absorb blood, sections, etc.

Subject: I have that same argument with my spellchecker.

Couldn't document it in my reference books, only got 800 hits on Google.  However, the doctor said it and QA changed it back to brachioplexus from brachial plexus, so I added it to the spellchecker dictionary.  It's another one of those undocumentable words that are becoming commonly used.

I found this on site for patents for heart valves: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6797002.html


"If extending substantially in the same plane, the post prevents outward bellowing of the valve leaflets, while if extending substantially out of the plane, the post simply functions to connect and modify the shape of opposite sides of the annulus."

Subject: Not nice? Well just for the sake of argument:

If it sounds like "parenteral antibiotics" why would you not google that before coming here to ask for help?  Honestly I think some people who post here are just plain lazy.  I see them asking questions all the time that if they just did a google search of what they think they hear, they would have their answer.


And sorry, I found the question to be funny so I laughed.  Sue me.

Thank you.  There is a huge argument going on so far straight through two dictations and they are going at it louder and louder !!!.


Please let me clarify
Subject: Please let me clarify

Sorry, should have been more specific. Dictator is probably slurring the word "ophthalmic" drops. There is no thalmic drop. The word "thalamic" refers to something else entirely. Please just type out ophthalmic drops.

He probably does mean the injection will help clarify where the pain is coming from.  That is the whole purpose of a a discogram, but sometimes they are inconclusive.  It's just an awkward sentense structure to say clarify the patient.

I'm so confused about the correct way to write prescription abbreviations. I've looked it up in several places and come up with different ways so here it goes. Is it q.d. or q d? What about bid or b.i.d.? Please help. Thank you.

Thanks for the responses.
