So if the patient is allergic, they would premedicate with Benadryl. They do that before a lot of diagnostic procedures.

Subject: Use reference material...
....as one of the "stupid" QA people, let me tell you that if you have reference material from which you are quoting, you do not have to worry about being wrong. Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment book has Endocatch, and that's what I use. Any company who would make up their own version, I wouldn't work for.

Surgery reference material
Subject: Surgery reference material
Let me start by saying, THANKS! I love this sight. You guys help me so much. I am an MT in training, and little over half-way through my course. I have really been struggling with operative reports. Between the garggling and mumbling of the doctor's dicactation and all the new surgical instruments and drug references, I have at least 50 terms throughout a 5 minute document that I have researched for the past 5 days, spending more hours than I can count, trying to figure out these terms. What I want to know is, does anyone know of a good website, or anything that lists surgical instruments and/or drugs, such as anesthesias, by branch of medicine? (I am on ophthalmology surgeries right now, ack!). I am learning a lot through this process. I just seem to be stuck right now. Thanks!

exactly what she is referring to before making the decision to transcribe bilateral. She may mean bimalleolar (ankle) edema. If that were the case, bilateral ankle edema is very different than bimalleolar edema, which would mean 1 foot versus 2. If you can leave it blank and get a response back, that is the best idea.

Frankly, this was a new term for me in terms of a fracture, and I'm away from my reference books. When I Google it, half of the references come up segUnd and half segOnd, and just wondered if there is a Dorland's kind of confirmation.
