Trying to figure out how to type this ---- ortho surgery with Synthes LCP plate.  Says "number two five" Mersilene tape..... Would that be #25?  That doesn't seem right to me and I saw that another MT typed it as "two #5" Mersilene tape.  Not sure if dictator said it wrong in my report-- appreciate any input.

Lysis of adhesions and capsular release of the posterior, superior and post s/l *transferior* were performed under direct vision.

This is arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Doc is talking about foot/ankle here.....s/l Kronotz bone graft and Jovoval sutures.  ??? 

Any help appreciated much!!

My question is he is just saying 45 hole, not saying 4.5 hole so do I assume he means 4.5?  I get so confused by this.  This is the sentence leading up to my question. 

A 4.5-mm syndesmotic screw was now inserted using standard AO technique.  I placed the screw in lag mode.  A 4.5-mm drill bit used on the fibula.  A guide was placed in the 45 or 4.5?? hole.

Doing an op note. It is an intramedullary nailing and he says what s/l Charpol is used to gain access into intramedullary canal. Any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks so much!!

Here's the sentence: 

 "The tendon was sewn over a button on the heel using a s/l 'teeth' needle."  (Or Teef needle?)  

It sounds clear, but I can't find anything close on Google or in Stedman's.  Any ideas what this needle might be? 

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?

(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.

Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?

The sentence is:

DIAGNOSIS:  Status post lateral meniscal tear treated with meniscal recess or meniscorecess? 

Help!  This is stumping me.

Thanks!

wow, thanks.  one of those that it is so simple I just made it hard :)

I use google first and get to healthgrades dot com if I know the state and then I only click on the CACHE button thru google and only the MD I'm searching for will highlight in all the states.  I hope I made myself understood in that sentence.  I also use anywho dot com and 411 dot com, 411locate dot com, dr-411 dot com, and last but far from least:
