Number readings ?
Subject: Number readings ?

Thanks for replying so fast.  Actually, my question was on the J point elevation s/l "1 and ?"  Kind of sounded like 1 and the letter "o", but doesn't make sense.  Didn't know if maybe he was speaking of a certain lead, but doesn't sound close to anything.  Thanks so much for your time!!!!  :-)
principle readings? sm
Subject: principle readings? sm

this is the sentence regarding pulmonary clearance:


"This clearance is for laparoscopic banding in terms of s/l 'principle readings (ratings?)' from my follow-up is for an underlying sleep-disordered breathing.


I cannot figure out what is supposed to be there. Any ideas? Thank you.


Blood pressure readings -sm
Subject: Blood pressure readings -sm

The doctor clearly states: Blood pressure in the field was 180 over palp, later 112/124, and then later 188 over palp.

Does the 112/124 sound correct? It is clearly stated, but I think he may be stating it incorrectly. Has anyone heard of a reading like this?

Thank you.

Hi,


I have a doc who always states blood pressures like this:  "They are in the one-teens to 120s over 80s."  How would the rest of you write this? 


Thanks

I would just punctuate a bit differently, like:

The patient is a 42-year-old white female with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, and anterolateral rotary instability.

Second question is shouldn't this be arthroscopy AND debridement? he doesn't say *and* but that is always how I have heard it. Third question is...is patella tendon graft correct or should it be patellar tendon graft?

I plan on doing an arthroscopy debridement and an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using patella tendon graft.

Sorry for all the questions, but he is a speed demon today.

short example
Subject: short example

All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.

Not sure if those "xxx"  are actually part of your autocorrect format, or just "for display" only.  If I misspell a word even once, I stop right there and fix it.  Anyone else?  Any other tips?
