bowel obstruction, had exploratory laparotomy with adhesiolysis and enterotomy of small-bowel decompression. For meds-He also had difficulty with blood pressure control, but did obtain some reasonable semblance of control on clonidine 0.6 mg patches as well as some supplemental IV hydralazine. switched to IV Solu-Cortif since he had been on 5 mg of Prednisone orally for his spondylitis. He was initially started on s/l Clivicten on the 3rd postoperative day, but this had to be stopped. Reglan was added to his regimen. Cannot find what this drug would be. Sorry so long

the patient wrote him/herself. When they can't tell what it is, they often spell it the way the patient did. I'd leave a blank and make a note with the doctor's spelling if you've already researched the term and found nothing to verify it. I found nothing in my Drake. I never trust a doc's spelling of ANYTHING!!

Don't know what diagnoses this patient has, most of the drugs that end in "ivir" are AIDS/HIV drug related medications. If the patient does not have this, that will eliminate a lot of looking.

you have exhausted all your references, I'd type it the way he spelled it and then flag it, saying that the doctor spelled it that way. That covers you. Docs are notorious bad spellers, but he might be privy to something so new it's not on the books yet.

whenever they spell anything, I look it up because 99% of the time the dictator has spelled whatever they are trying to spell INCORRECTLY....it's a general rule of thumb for most MTs to do this - look up anything a dictator spells.........because we ALL know this about the dictators after 25+ years..........for some of us....in this biz.

Med help--Dr. spells it "popinsisole"
Subject: Med help--Dr. spells it "popinsisole"
I can't find anything close in my QLEDR. This is in a medication list, so I have no clue what it is for and no dosage is given other than 1 tablet once a day. This is a cardiac patient with multiple cardiac diagnoses. No other past medical history listed. Any ideas? He spells the majority of his medications incorrectly and I have been able to find all except this one.
