You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??

Subject: he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam
It is pretty bad. When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red. I so almost panicked. I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...

Subject: hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??
I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?

Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

The registered trademark is spelled ENDO CATCH, but depending on how QA and the AAMT attacks you it could be right or wrong. What's right today is wrong tomorrow and changed back the next day.
It's become petty. If you can spell it, and someone can read it aloud from what you transcribed why isn't that good enough?
PFFTT! We are transcribing doctors who say stupid things like "satting," and "Coumadinized," which aren't even real words and they accept that!
I'm already miffed thinking of how stupid QA and the AAMT are and I have not even finished "coffeeing!" LOL.

Horrible sound quality, I now have 5 blanks in this report. Need help with this anesthesiology consultation on pending shoulder surgery.
There is no tenderness along the right or left brachial plexus, the ________ groove or supraclavicular region. There is no tenderness along the right or left anterior or medial _________ muscles. The patient's upper extremity shows the _________ muscle mass appears symmetrical.
I'm sorry, the sound is so bad I don't even know what these words sound like. It doesn't help that the dictator has marbles in his mouth!! I just don't have a clue!!

we MTs had very few references, certainly no Google. We would beg doctors to give us their old PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) and would find lots of our S/L there. We oldsters were definitely word detectives in our day.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!
