feel stupid asking this but seated or seeded? Arthroscopic knee surgery
Subject: feel stupid asking this but seated or seeded? Arthroscopic knee surgery

There was a larger grade 3 lesion on the inferior portion of the patella as it seated or seeded? in the trochlear groove at about 45 degrees of flexion. I am thinking seated because it is sitting in the groove? Would this be correct or am I totally wrong here.

Don't worry about it, have had many days like that, and I have been doing this 30+ years.   Yesterday I could not get anything right.  Happens to us all, and it does make sense later.  I have looked at a lot of these word-help emails, and there are several that I had no clue on but always good to learn new things even at my old age.

Subject: 2nd day and feeling very stupid

I'm sorry ahead of time. Yesterday was awful and today only seems worse :( This is probably so obvious but because I am getting anxious, I can not hear anything now! The doctor says "... coughing, which initially was thought to be nonproductive but now (s/l livid) some productive sputum." Any help would be so greatly appreciated, and please don't laugh too hard! I may hear and get my feelings hurt. LOL

AAA repair. Please see message for stupid sentence!
Subject: AAA repair. Please see message for stupid sentence!

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Talent endovascular graft with a "36 20 155" left main body and a "14 20 90 right limb with a P 50 10" Palmaz stent placed across the aortic seal zone.


Not sure how to type the number sequences:


He dictates "36 20 155"    and


"14 20 90" right limb with a "P 50 10"


I have no idea if he means 36 x 20 x 155 or what!


Thanks!

Subject: Okay, here is my real response

What is the basis for any jealousy here?  That concept baffles me.  You obviously spent a lot of time into the events of today and I would suggest an alternate outlet...like a l-i-f-e.  I do not always come here to flame or denigrate others.  That you consider me trouble is of no consequence to me.  I have no concern for how my posts are perceived and when I post, I'm usually my ADD and dyslexic self with multiple lines of thinking bouncing around in my head at the same time.  I do not self check my grammar or spelling.  I'm happy with my QA score of greater than 99.5% monthly because when I work, I allow no distractions.  Before I was out of high school, I had the skill set I needed that today's poster lacked and that you commented on as a general rule for all newbies.


If you do not understand my point, that is your failing, not mine.  Others have repeated my point so I hope it is a bit more clear to you by now.  I will not "leave this newbie" alone (not that I now have a vendetta against her/him now) but you hold no power over my actions, just as I have none over yours.  I feel no threat from you, do not feel diminished by you and feel sorry that you are so worked up over today's events.


I had no one to ask questions of at all when I entered MT as I came in as the MT supervisor with years of experience in being a records auditor.  When I went home and entered the acute care arena, I had more books than I could count, with my favorite being "A Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary" (first published in the 50s).  I didn't make a lot of money my first year at home but every report was superior to those of the other MTs on the account.  I feel today's newbie has no excuse for  not being able to find many of the answers to many of the issues that were addressed today other than by posting entire reports for strangers who may only think they are qualified to answer.  Asking for QA help on entire reports is a crap shoot.  On a forum where no one knows who anyone really is in real life, you can easily get crappy help anot not know the difference.  Your mileage may vary.


I hope you find some peace and a healthy outlet for your frustrations.

She is describing some symptoms possibly consistent with ADHD.  We discussed the differential diagnosis and possibly overlap of S/L: subsymptoms between anxiety and ADHD and possibly that these were comorbid disorders.

how the client prefers. If you are being marked down for not putting them, then I would go ahead and add them if you cannot get an instructor to let you know one way or the other. Sometimes the docs do dictate vital signs separate from the PE, and unless you have been told to move them under the PE heading, then I would leave them as dictated.
