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.
That's what got me started! nm

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!

I figured I was spending way too much time trying to decipher his jumbled mumbled dictation. He can either learn to speak correctly and coherently or spend his time trying to figure out what he was trying to say to fill in the blanks!!!

So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
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??

There were three other places in the dictation that I could not understand what he was saying.
After I deciphered the 'alert and oriented' (with your gracious help), I went back to the other three. Bingo. It was like a mumble-jumble-decipher puzzle piece placed itself in my head, and I figured out the other three.
I love puzzles.
Thanks again!

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?

Normally they are plain films. However, sometimes they are actually talking about the plane or surface orientation of the exam so you have to be careful.

crazy number question
Subject: crazy number question
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.
Members in family: 5. " OR
"School Grade: Fifth.
Members in family: Five."
I am thinking the second, but then again, I am not thinking. :-)
