Sigh...posted before done. SM

Posted By: Endiqua on 2005-11-15

Subject: Sigh...posted before done. SM

It's hard to judge these things without hearing them - I went with what was closest to the sentence provided. While the patient could have been "dyspneic-looking like a patient with COPD or sleep apnea," that just didn't sit right with my gut.

I am doing an op report: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative cholangiograms.  The doctor clearly says diagnosIS, although I know they do that all the time and then give numbered lists, so I know not to count on that. For the diagnosis, she says "Chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis."  She runs them together just like that, no pause in between or anything.


Do these go together the way I have them now, as one diagnosis just separated with a comma?  Should I have them separated and numbered instead?


I have no samples to go on and I've never done one of these before. What do you seasoned surgery pros think?


Another question. SM
Subject: Another question. SM

"There is a suggestion of a horseshoe configuration of the kidneys with s/l TALLULAH-FORM shaped tissue extending anterior to the s/l AR-AY-LA."

On the psych evaluations I get, and this is probably account specific, but we show these as headings. Not that it is required, but the dictators really seem to prefer that type of formatting. There is even one who asks for many of these same terms (including things like "he had an Full Scaled Score of..." within the body of her text. So, I always just capitalize or put things in ALL caps when she says to.

Big ditto on siren's post. Even if you could please EMAIL me, would really like to know where you work and for what facility. I LOVE psych work and both my major primaries which were ALL psych work were lost to other companies (left the one I am at) and I miss it. Glad to help though and see above post on your blank before status! Bye!

by the administrator??? I am giving my point of view and no I am not repeating anything. I am saying it differently and it cannot hurt. Is it okay for posters to give WRONG ANSWERS? why are you not telling them enough already and give it a rest???

How come when you see the same answer on the help board over and over again, why are you not piping in telling them they are giving redundant anwers?

This subject must have hit a nerve with you.

I will not give anything a rest. Thank you. Have a nice day.
