they put in tissue expanders before actually doing the tissue expansion in which patients return for fills to the expanders until they are at a proper volume, usually at which point the expanders get changed out for permanent implants (gel or saline).

OP note - he says Megan-style 133 500 cc full volume tissue expander.  Cannot find Megan or Megann. 

Hi, Could anyone tell me, please, where I can download a GOOD, but CHEAP Medical spellchecker and word expander program?  I just got a new computer with Vista and my Shortcuts program or dictionary (Dorland's) will not work.  I have been off work for a while and need desperately to work, but I'm lacking money to buy those.  Info would be appreciated.  I've spent hours looking on the Net.  Thanks!!

.... sounds like rale or rail packs... for migraines?  Thanks.

Wet prep showed budding yeast and ....s/l hife.... 

Thanks.

I know this is probably stupid BUT.... as a "newbie", I haven't encountered this before.

How do you write disc space height. 

ex:  doc says:  complete loss of disc space height at 5 1

Thanks.

If the patient's fever does not DEPRAVEST on antibiotics, then further assessment such as CT scan of the sinuses and thorax may be needed. 

I cannot find a word that fits, but it sounds clear as DEP-RA-VEST.  Any ideas? 

result can greatly affect the mean, but the median is not as affected.    Any clues?  This is a horrible dictation. 

The company I work for does not want us to use numbers and numbers should never be used at the beginning of a sentence, but does anyone know the AAMT-true style that this should be transcribed?  I know this is a crazy question, but for some reason, I can't seem to categorize it.

Example: 

"School grade: 5th.

I know, it sounds crazy...  This is a new urology account for me, and the doc is REPEATEDLY saying the following, taken directly from the notes:

(Problem of interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain) -- 'She did not use the Valium vaginal suppositories.  She had days when she felt quite well....'

(Problem of IC again) -- 'Prescribed Valium 10 mg vaginal suppositories...' 

(Problem IC and pelvic floor tension myalgia) -- She stopped her Valium vaginal suppositories, which she states are at a dose of 10 mg of Valium with 25 mg of amitriptyline and has felt much better since. 

I can't find a Valium vaginal suppository anywhere, people!  Any of you know about anything like this?  I imagine that if you've got a stressed vagina, that would be as good of a cure as any, but I haven't heard of it yet.  Any ideas? 

It always used to be tendonitis, now the change.

And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?

When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.

two written, with or without a space??  x2 or x 2? I am able to view previous reports typed by other transcriptionists and some of them put it with the space and some without?  Now I am starting to doubt myself.  I was told it was without the space years ago.  Has something changed??  Thanks
