MEDICATIONS: He takes Crestor, Diovan, 'lowest' aspirin, Toprol, Flomax, and Trileptal.
Make sense or is there any such other term that would fit there? I am at a loss with this one and of course there is no hesitation between meds, so I am thinking it belongs together. = )

I disagree re: deep-seated versus deep-seeded
Subject: I disagree re: deep-seated versus deep-seeded
I believe deep-seeded may be correct. It is a term frequently used in oncology and dermatology. "Deep-seeded" means that something has been "seeded" from another site (primary), as in metastasis. Please do a Google search and form your own opinion on this.

Keratosis is described as "deep-seated", so I would think that would be proper for keratoma as well.

Yep - crypts - deep pits in tonsils
Subject: Yep - crypts - deep pits in tonsils
Tonsillar crypts are deep recesses found on the surface of the tonsils. Chronic tonsillitis often results from the accumulation of partially digested food debris in the depths of these crypts. When the crypts are particularly deep, the debris may actually form concretions known as tonsilloliths. Chronic tonsil inflammation associated with such debris in the crypts in most cases can be successfully managed by relatively simple oral hygiene measures designed to mechanically cleanse or irrigate the tonsils. Scheduled and regular gargling with antiseptic rinses such as Cepacol or saline-soda solutions (1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda in 6-8 oz water) are helpful in many. For more difficult cases, the use of a Water-Pik device with pulsating jets of solution directed at the tonsil crypts is advised. Antibiotics may be occasionally recommended for acute exacerbations associated with bacterial colonization of the crypts, however, antibiotics are often not particularly helpful. Ultimately, if these measures fail, and if the individual is sufficiently syptomatic, tonsil removal may be recommended.

How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?
For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ˝+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ˝+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?
Thanks.

2.5 is 2-1/2 and 2.5 is the proper way to type it. It should be 2.5 mL in your sentence on your post. This is the rule for medications and recently they changed the way they want us to transcribe cc to mL, which was always the equivalent of each other and I don't know why they changed it (maybe they were bored). I understand that they think cc can be "miswritten" and "misread" as something else, but I think that should be directed at handwritten orders and documentation, not transcribed orders or documentation that is typed. The bottom line is they don't care what we think and we need to do it their way. I would never ever type 2.5 mL as 2-1/2 because it is not correct or professional to do so. Sometimes I think they just are bored and think of something to "fix."
