I have a doc stumbling over a blood pressure reading. He states 1, uh, uh, 205. Now, does he mean 125 or 205? 205 is extremely high, but he does state later in the report that the patient should follow up with his primary doc due to high blood pressure. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Okay, this surgeon is dealing with a very purulent abdomen and kind of said this in a weird way, like he was going to sneeze or cough when he said ?shriv? then port then sump drain.

Some sort of orthopedic drill guide

This is dictated in an op note on a right knee arthroscopy and partial meniscectomy. The doc says a s/l Poodoo drill guide was inserted and the tibial tunnel placed in an anatomic position. I've tried various spellings on Google, including Peaudeau, Pudeau, Pudu, etc., and I'm not having any luck finding this. Any ideas, anyone?

He's performing a breast enlargement procedure. This is the second day he's

others listen. Maybe someone here knows it?
"After the endoscopic procedure bilaterally, the "arges dignum" tissue
dissector was then utilized to refine the submuscular pocket, ensuring both
sides were symmetric. "
Could be RGES Dignum or who the hades knows what. Anyone ????

Example
Orders read give "gr X" (grains 10) Tylenol® q 4-6° prn. How many milligrams of acetaminophen do you give?
Answer: You don't give any. Many facilities consider the use of grains archaic and a source of medical errors. Depending on the source, 5 grains can equal 300-325 mg. Now consider many medications are measured and given in hundredths of milligrams: the difference of 25 mg could have disastrous consequences. The best solution is to have the doctor rewrite the order in milligrams.
For educational purposes this calculator considers 1 grain = 64.8 milligrams however the National Weights & Measures Laboratory considers 1 grain = 64.79891 milligrams. My nursing text book vacillates between 1 grain = 60-64 milligrams. If you were to solve this problem using this calculator the answer would be 648 milligrams (roughly 2 plain acetaminophen tablets).

Subject: I*'m just wondering why all this
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.
