Zimmer IB?
Zimmer IB, 2 knee components were used.
This is the sentence but it doesn't make sense to me. What is IB? and should there be a comma after Zimmer or something?
Zimmer IB2
Subject: Zimmer IB2
I have spent sooo much time researching this. During a total knee arthroplasty: "Zimmer IB2 knee components were used." I get the impression IB2 has been discontinued, since even the Zimmer website does not list such an item. Have any of you transcribed a TKA using a Zimmer IB2 implant?

Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
Subject: Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
I'm doing a report for placement of a Zimmer TM-100 ______foam cage at the C4-5 level. Neuro reports of this sort take me so long because I have such a hard time finding and documenting the instrumentation that they use! I've checked my reference books and googled, to no avail. I can't seem to figure out the first part of the 'foam' word for this cage. It sounds kinda' like zylofoam, tanofoam or tilofoam. Arghhhh!

he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam
Subject: he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam
It is pretty bad. When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red. I so almost panicked. I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...
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??

hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??
Subject: hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??
I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?

Under surgical history: Gynecological history: Menarche at age 11, birth control pills for the past five to six years of a normal **pass-bearing that was 6**

This is a patient admitted for a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Here is the sentence that makes no sense, this is an ESL, too.
A focus was then placed ** after careful** level of the angle of the mandible, probably to presented dental disease or some mandible node.
The sentence before: A PET scan showed the primary FDG-Avid located probably in the cervix, and no evidence of regional metastatic disease, no evidence of distant metastatic disease.
Thank you for any help with this mess.
Thanks. I guess that makes the most

What about dates, when they dictate like 06/30/2006 or whatever. I used to have to spell it out in the hospitals I transcribed, has that changed too... looks like I'd better buy a new book (just what I want to do). TIA

In the hospital I use to work, the surgical department had many subdepartments three of which were called Supply, processing and distribution, These areas were labled within surgery, I never really knew what each departments responsibilities were because I had never seen it in a report.

Yes that makes sense. I really can't be sure, but I personally never use ...ankles bilaterally.. I use..ankle bilaterally.. because I only have one ankle on each side.

that anything else I've thought of. Thanks! Except that sounds like a procedure. Maybe injectable glucose ??One instance is in the plan, they'll say, "IGMO sliding scale". I blanked it about 20 times because I couldn't document it but never got any feedback, so now I just type IGMO and haven't had any feedback from that either.

I actually corrected a radiologist to her face because she was using that very term incorrectly, just like your dictator! She admitted she'd had a discussion with a professor in school about that word, and I could tell she couldn't understand it when he explained it and couldn't understand me either! She didn't think I was right, but she finally said she didn't care if I changed it! I was appalled that somebody with an MD & I think a PhD couldn't get the concept! What a nut!
