Is he saying "CBC, MSP, and stool" because stool is not a test so just wondering if it could be the name of a stool test. If you state just how the whole sentence is dictated, it may help us figure it out for ya.

Good says it stands for keep-open-vein. So, it should fit, and it also is all CAPs.

Subject: Usually if they dictate Seldinger...
they will say "via Seldinger, or Seldinger technique." I don't believe they would do this en route either. Are you sure you are hearing "sandwich?" I have been transcribing ER reports for years and I have never heard this term used. Anyway, I would not guess on this one. IMO, it is better to leave it blank and have QA inform you later so you can keep it on file  .

like a poke in the eye to me!!! Brings me to a screeching halt. I just tend to ignore them, in a report, especially if it is a resident. I do puncturate letters and memos, but half the commas I see people use on this board and other boards are totally not necessary. Just call me
anti-comma!!!!!

but the AAMT BOS dictates what is correct for the industry, getting its information from sources such as the Chicago Manual of Style, the American Medical Association book of style (which I own), etc. As the poster below states, Joint Commission goes by BOS and does not like "same" or abbreviations for diagnoses, impressions, op titles, etc. They will randomly choose patient charts and go through them to check things like this! It's the Joint Commission which recommends or removes hospital accreditations--a very powerful entity.
So, ask your QA what the account wants. If they want "same," give them "same." For other accounts, do it the correct way.

I would just punctuate a bit differently, like:
Dissection then went to the cephalic aspect of the tumor and a clamp used to delineate it. The tumor was freed of the tissue overlying the innominate vein..... and so on, I think you are doing a good job!

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.
