I vote for Lodine and Skelaxin
Subject: I vote for Lodine and Skelaxin
I think the other poster is right. The dictator probably just added an extra garble/syllable in there.
I've done a lot of pain management in the past, and Lodine and Skelaxin are very often prescribed together.
But if you're really unsure, I think the best thing to do would be to flag it for QA.

Is it 7-French diagnostic sheath. Hypen or no? Driving me bonks, someone clear this up? Many references state different things.

sutures please help
 Ladies, I am desparate. Takes too long to here back from QKL, so I'm asking you. ASR types suture material O chromic. I have always just put 0 chromic in the past, but now know that zero is never to be type 0 by itself. How does everybody else transcribe it? Don't want to get dinged later for it. Thanks in advance.
5.0 sutures?
Subject: 5.0 sutures?
Hi, all.
I have a doc who is repairing a finger laceration. He says he used 4 simple interrupted 5.0 nylon sutures. Does he mean 5-0 nylon sutures, or is there such a thing as a 5.0 nylon suture?
Thanks!

sometimes come out of the skin. Spitting it out!!
Lots of hits on Google about this. Would think that after all these years they would come up with a suture material that would not do this. Some materials are worse than others.
