person, even one person from a Cannabis site! The MRI info was probably keyed in by a lay person also. There no reference for "brachioplexy" in any Stedman's reference, any Dorland's reference, Taber's or even in the rxlist.
Did you notice the other misspellings in the Google listings?
Brachioplexy makes no sense. It's brachial plexus, brachial plexopathy.
Best not to be facetious with an MT with over 30 years' experience, with a 99-100% QA rating at all times.
You still didn't define "brachioplexy" which is what I asked.
No wonder we're losing our work to a foreign country.

Just had a doc use the word "averbal", meaning not speaking. I could not verify this word anywhere. Found reference in archives here and someone said to Google "averbal definition", which I did. Could not find any reference to this word. Should I leave it as dictated, or change it to "nonverbal"? TIA!
Nasolaryngoscope is valid, so...
Subject: Nasolaryngoscope is valid, so...
Thanks for your reply. I understand what you're saying, but I'm confused as to why this was marked as an incorrect term when there is an instrument called a nasolaryngoscope (Stedman's Med & Surg Equip Words) and the procedure was examination of the larynx via a scope entering through the nose.

Nuclear Cardiology
The Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory performs stress testing with and without cardiac imaging. Cardiac scintigraphy includes perfusion and functional imaging at rest and with physical or pharmacological stress. The section performs single isotope cardiac studies individualized to the needs of the patient and the referring physician. The laboratory can perform gated SPECT imaging to provide perfusion and functional assessment of myocardial viability in the short, horizontal, and vertical long axes. In addition to four SPECT cameras, the section has multi-crystal cameras for first pass angiography at rest or with exercise. The following studies can be done with exercise or pharmacological stress, with or without gated SPECT imaging: thallium-201 perfusion imaging; thallium-201/technetium-99m sestamibi perfusion and functional imaging, and technetium-99m sestamibi perfusion imaging with or without functional assessment. Positron emission tomography for tumor identification or myocardial viability is available following telephone consultation with one of the physicians.
http://www.csmc.edu/8490.html
Like the thallium scan, the sestamibi scan shows how well supplied with blood and oxygen your heart is. Sestamibi refers to the type of radioactive isotope used in this test to make the flow of blood visible. Thallium and sestamibi stress tests are more accurate and informative than a standard exercise stress test.
As with the thallium test, you will be connected to an electrocardiogram. You will be asked to exercise as hard as you can on a treadmill or bicycle. (If your doctor thinks that exercise is not safe for you or that you will not be able to exercise hard enough because of bone or joint problems, you will be given a drug that has the same effect on your heart as exercising.)

For newer MTs or those who may be struggling with terminology from one who has been there - please do not rely on the internet for your research. there is a great deal of incorrect information out there. There is no substitute for good reference books. A good drug book, dictionary, phrase index would be a good start and a surgery word book is always helpful is you are doing work that involves that. These would probably answer many of those things that stump you. Also, vera pyles's Current Medical Terminology, which just published a new version this year, is a great help with new terms. Hope this info helps someone!

all amounts are to be transcribed as singular when abbreviated, so it does not matter if "approximately" is used it is always 10 cc of fluid was aspirated (and/or injected).
Obviously if it is dictated "a total of 10 cc..." it is WAS because "total" is the subject. Also, even if the dictation was "10 cc of fluidS..." it would still be was because the unit of measurement is the subject of the sentence and is abbreviated.

I checked Google and Stedman's in several places!
I want to tell you that Dorland is a little outdated and oldfashiomed.
This is NOT an EXCEPTION, this I can tell you, because I studied Latin.
It is decubitus / decubiti
or
decubitus ulcer / decubitus ulcers.
The OP said that the doctor dictated 'decubiti'. If this is on top of it a 'verbatim' account and she types decubitus, whereas the doctor dictated 'decubiti', then she WILL REALLY BE IN TROUBLE.
IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT !

including Dorland's 29th ed and there is no inframedial per se. Just looking into One Look dictionary to do a wide search of online dictionaries, it is not even listed as a medical term. I know it sounds like a real word, inframedial, inferior of the midline, but in all my years, it has been inferomedial for me.

Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

number rules?
Subject: number rules?
Two of my teachers taught different number rules. One, said that they should almost always be numeral form. The other said that numbers are usually spelled out.
I believe the Book of Style says numerals are usually appropriate, accept for zero, at the beginning of a sentence, drug admin. abrev's., etc..
Anyone? Numerals right? With acceptions? I'm just starting.
