Subject: Zosyn and serial exam sounds right sm

going to rxlist.com and typing in Zocin will help or drugs.com and hit on "Z" to see all drugs that start with "Z"...serial exams just means they will be doing multiple exams.

antibiotics for dental exams and dental work
Subject: antibiotics for dental exams and dental work

This is SBE prophylaxis (subacute bacterial endocarditis) which is given to patients with heart valve disease.  When dental work is done, this causes the bacteria from the mouth to go into the system and can cause vegetation on one or more of the heart valves....which is a very serious and possibly life-threatening situation.  Most surgeries require this be done before the procedure, even certain nonsurgical procedures that may be less invasive, require it as well.  However, the guidelines are less stringent than they were previously.  Hope this helps.

I only got help for 2 reports, and the people that helped me wanted to help me.

No one was forced and I greatly appreciate their help. I just needed help in some areas that I was having some trouble in that is all.

You and Milton Red Stapler have a nice day.

I am new to op reports and looking for any good reference sites to refer to when needing help. My ops mostly consist of General surgery, orthopedic, ENT, ophthalmology, gyn and plastic surgery.

Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a M&S Equipment words book and an ortho book. Would like some good websites.

Thanks in advance

help new to ortho reports
Subject: help new to ortho reports

Can a person have full finger flexion at the volar wrist?

This is just a statement made in the Objective portion of the report. She is stating he has full dorsiflexion, palmar flexion and radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. THen goes on to say "finger flexion at the volar wrist irriation with clicking"

This is not a verbatim account and she is somewhat scatterbrained sometimes so you have to fill in the blanks at times.
Tenses in reports

Do the majority of y'all change tenses when the docs dictate them incorrectly?  Normally I'm inclined to, but there are times when I question it.  Of course, my pet peeve is dictating a surgery that already happened, yet everything is present tense!


In this case, here's what I'm questioning: 


The patient was evaluated previously, and a left inguinal hernia is reducible.


Thanks in advance!
