Consultation ?
Subject: Consultation ?
It probably is nothing more than a simple "consultation", as sometimes those problems could be managed by Orthopedics alone without the need for surgical intervention...or the diagnoses confirmed and referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon for further care.
IV consultation?
Subject: IV consultation?
Has anyone heard of someone getting an "IV" consultation while in the hospital? It's a non-english speaker and wonder if I'm hearing "IV" correctly. The patient has hyperkalemia, hypertension, and osteomyelitis if that helps. Tx

GI consult, reason for consultation
Subject: GI consult, reason for consultation
All I know so far is that the patient is being seen in GI consultation and she is combative and age 90+.
REASON FOR CONSULTATION sounds like:
"Aerfo biddy bosdus stil."
I'm thinking
Here for _____ stool.
but still clueless. He is ESL, probably Indian.

Subject: Dear anon
It seems that some people have nothing better to with their time but to post and point out what they think are mistakes. Perhaps YOU confused a ligitimate question with sarcasm. Perhaps it is YOU who needs to go back and "study" manners before YOU jump to conclusions.
Why would a man need a tampon?....= a ligitimate question.
Why would a man need a tampon, you moron!....= condescending.
Try in the future to read a question as it is written rather than pointing a bony finger.
This board is here for HELP; not for you to act as if you know it all. If you do know the answer, then post the answer, assist your fellow MTs and shut up rather than tell people they need to study more.
You, my dear, might want to look up Brand!!!

I only got help for 2 reports, and the people that helped me wanted to help me.
No one was forced and I greatly appreciate their help. I just needed help in some areas that I was having some trouble in that is all.
You and Milton Red Stapler have a nice day.

Subject: new to op reports
I am new to op reports and looking for any good reference sites to refer to when needing help. My ops mostly consist of General surgery, orthopedic, ENT, ophthalmology, gyn and plastic surgery.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a M&S Equipment words book and an ortho book. Would like some good websites.
Thanks in advance

The area in which you most need help is in how to decide what is ethical. The moderator herself does not allow such reports to be posted here. You should have known better. Now you do.

Can a person have full finger flexion at the volar wrist?
This is just a statement made in the Objective portion of the report. She is stating he has full dorsiflexion, palmar flexion and radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. THen goes on to say "finger flexion at the volar wrist irriation with clicking"
This is not a verbatim account and she is somewhat scatterbrained sometimes so you have to fill in the blanks at times.
Tenses in reports
Do the majority of y'all change tenses when the docs dictate them incorrectly? Normally I'm inclined to, but there are times when I question it. Of course, my pet peeve is dictating a surgery that already happened, yet everything is present tense!
In this case, here's what I'm questioning:
The patient was evaluated previously, and a left inguinal hernia is reducible.
Thanks in advance!
Echocardiogram Reports
