xrays for hip replacement
Subject: xrays for hip replacement

Not sure what this is, is it short for another word?


the patient’s x-rays today shows that he has a total hip replacement in place; the lino looks fine with no eccentric wear.

I do not see any gross radiolucency; there is may be some small s/l 'lucenary' (is this right?) at the distal aspect of the tip of the stem.


 


Thanks for your help

You know, I think I will just blank it.. (sm if you want!:)
Subject: You know, I think I will just blank it.. (sm if you want!:)

This doc is famous for saying the wrong thing because he dictates while surfing the net.  Actiq is something prescribed in that clinic all the time, and he always mispronounces it "Ak-tik" rather than "Ak-teek" as it should be pronounced, so I bet he said that while thinking something else.  I know that's not right, so I will just leave it blank.  I really wish this guy would pay attention, though! 


(I don't know how many times I have been transcribing and he's hemming and hawing and I hear clicking in the background and then hear, "Hello!  You've got mail!" and I think to myself... "This guy is a neurosurgeon... And he has AOL? Hello?" Ha ha!)


Thanks for trying to help, all! I appreciate your time!

Subject: i'm going to blank it

I just can't figure it out.  Each response is a great one but it's just not what he's saying--and I know what he's saying isn't correct!


"Extremities revealed no cyanosis or edema, there are slightly decreased peripheral pulses and dorsalis pedis.  There is good capillary refill and _______ to cultures over both lower extremities.  The patient stayed in the hospital for 16 days."


I hate it when I can't figure out a word!  Again, thanks for the responses, this is a great group!

Sometimes docs do not spell things correctly; but when I cannot find something that they spell, I will send it to QA and let them figure it out. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.
