Tongue-tied doc today--humulin N 15 mg s/m
Subject: Tongue-tied doc today--humulin N 15 mg s/m
I've been typing one of my usual docs today, and apparently she's having a bad RX Monday or something. The latest one s/l Humulin N insulin 15 mg at bedtime. The bummer for me is that I won't take a chance on a med, so look up stuff I already know. I hate having to leave QA Markers on those I'm not 100% sure about, but I'd rather waste my time making sure (for the huge bucks I get) than to get it wrong.
Thanks!
then maybe a slash should go in there
Subject: then maybe a slash should go in there
Looking at various hits on Google, it looks like the acid and the mofetil are 2 different things, so maybe a slash should go in there and it should be transcribed: mycophenolic acid/mofetil field? Would you all agree?

because that is how they have it listed in the EXAM portion of the radiology reports that I type. If they had it like tib-fib I would type it that way more than likely.  I like to keep it the same throughout.

The patient has also been noticing *soup-ons* of short-term memory, but this may be secondary to the increased stress she has had in the last month.

Not these made up silly things. I had doctor who said clunky cough, yicky sputum, goopy eyes and goopy nose...and ackME for acne...gwyahnephrine for guaifenesin...metroprolol for metoprolol and the list went on. She was such a good doctor, born in the USA and still had command of the English language that was sadly lacking.

Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.
