who knows though - it could be gabapentin. Maybe the doctor can't read the patient's handwriting or the patient made up their own name for it. I am just going to flag it, since it's an allergy.

Subject: Apparently part of patient's history, but not clear...

MRI is reviewed confirming the presence of a full-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear with early glenohumeral arthritis. The patient apparently had a long head biceps tendon operation as well, perhaps s/l an or in acoa.

The patient has another orthopaedic surgeon in New York that has done a shoulder procedure (he says this in the HPI) and I can't tell if he's saying "an" or "in" acoa.

Thanks MT50.

I say that we are ALL very grateful that you are here. Accolades regarding you are truly well deserved of your skills, as well as the genuiness of your kindness and willingness to help any and all. Your fund of medical terminology is like no other I have experienced in all my 25 years of medical transcribing. Thanks so very kindly for participating in this forum. Whenever I have a question, I always first scan the board to see if you are online, because as I mentioned, you positively know your 'stuff,' for lack of a better word. Thanks a million.

Hi, Newbie!

Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).

Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.

Good luck.
