too weird! sm
Subject: too weird! sm
The very next report I got after this one, from a different doc, different place, he says "microfracture" which I think must be what the first one was talking about (she loves the abbreviations). So strange that I've never heard this term, but I get it in 2 consecutive reports!

Subject: Yes, weird indeed. When he said it
I said WHAT?? He is very, very clear too. I will send it in with a blank and see what QA says. Thanks for your help.

If it's not a verbatim account, I'd use "medications" and "detoxification". I'd think they'd have a hard time picking a fight with those! (Plus, it's more characters!)

because Desonide is not to be used in the eyes.
Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

Weird question?
Subject: Weird question?
I have a personal question to ask and I don't know if this is a problem or not. For the past few weeks my left foot will occasionally get so cold I can't stand it and the rest of my body is fine. This only seems to happen when I am typing. My right foot is my pedal foot. My mother had surgery to remove a blood clot from her arm (she almost lost the arm) many years ago. Is this something that I should be concerned about? Does anyone else ever have this problem?

I am unsure if I have the spelling correct for this word! It is talking about the patient having pink eye. He says he has to clear it out because it is crusty and pusy. I do not kno of any other way to spell pus other thank this. It just looks different. Please let me know. Thanks.
it looks weird to me too...I always change it to...
Subject: it looks weird to me too...I always change it to...
it's not necessarily correct - but I think about pussy cats and so the *eye is crusty and has pus* is what I'd put. 
Weird phrase
Just had a doc say: Lungs clear to IPPA. It's a first for me, but Google had hits for it, so I'm sure it's common. But how odd to say during the physical exam that lungs are clear to INSPECTION, palpation, percussion and auscultation.
I think of looking carefully when I hear inspection. So it sounds like he somehow took a peak at her lungs. Was he using a bronchoscope for this physical exam (no way - because he'd have documented that carefully so he could charge for it, LOL).
Now I'm off to check and see what OneLook says about inspection. Oy.

Thanks for the laughs. I kept trying to hear 34 weeks, but it was pretty clear he was saying 24 weeks. I ended up flagging it as a discrepancy and sent it in to QA for them to figure out. Thanks for trying, though!

we MTs had very few references, certainly no Google. We would beg doctors to give us their old PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) and would find lots of our S/L there. We oldsters were definitely word detectives in our day.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

I know, it sounds crazy... This is a new urology account for me, and the doc is REPEATEDLY saying the following, taken directly from the notes:
(Problem of interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain) -- 'She did not use the Valium vaginal suppositories. She had days when she felt quite well....'
(Problem of IC again) -- 'Prescribed Valium 10 mg vaginal suppositories...'
(Problem IC and pelvic floor tension myalgia) -- She stopped her Valium vaginal suppositories, which she states are at a dose of 10 mg of Valium with 25 mg of amitriptyline and has felt much better since.
I can't find a Valium vaginal suppository anywhere, people! Any of you know about anything like this? I imagine that if you've got a stressed vagina, that would be as good of a cure as any, but I haven't heard of it yet. Any ideas?

So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??

second edition of the BOS. They should go back to the first edition, but just add the necessary change about type II diabetes changing to type 2 diabetes. Medical record style guides should not completely change every three years. Doctors have never heard of the BOS for goodness sakes.
