For a diagnosis of pelvic adnexal and omental adhesions, would you place a comma between pelvic and adnexal or not?
Would it be:
Pelvic adnexal and omental adhesions
or
Pelvic, adnexal and omental adhesions?
I'm thinking no comma is needed, but the more I think on it, the more confused I become. The adnexa are within the pelvis, and no comma is needed, right?

Number Usage
I have spelled out numbers lower than 10 for 30 years, until now that is. The QA personnel for the company I just started working for keep changing the spelled out word to a number (no matter where it is in the report and how it is used). Example: He has been having problems over the last six months (they changed to 6 months). This goes against everything I ever learned in 12 years of Catholic schools. Ugh! Is this according to the AAMT guidelines or is it there way of saving a penny here and there?

"as well as" usage
Subject: "as well as" usage
I have a dictator that constantly uses "as well as" in the following manner:
"The patient is treated for a variety of issues including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, LVH, as well as generalized risk factor modification."
Shouldn't there be an "and" before LVH to make "as well as" work in this sentence? I read that "as well as" does not mean "and" - any help?

Mavis's job
Charles's salary
Davy Jones's locker
Keeping up with the Joneses
Marx's writing
Berlioz's music
Cervantes's novels
Jesus's teachings
Moses's triumph
Euripides's plays
Venus's statue
Mars's children
Ajax's sword
Some of these are pronounced with an awkward "zuziz" or "eeziz" sound so some people prefer to drop the final s, and some guides allow this "for classical names ending in s", which would thus have Venus' statue but Venus's tennis serve. It seems illogical to restrict it to classical names, so I feel Cervantes' novels would also be acceptable. Personally, I use 's in every case (so Jesus's writings) or avoid the problem by using the novels of Cervantes.

There has not been any interval change in his exam.
I am questioning the use of the word interval in this context. For a time, I thought the doctor was saying integral, but it is clear now that he is not. Is interval the correct word to use when there have been no changes in the patient's exam from one visit to the next?

numbers get spelled out - "...previous x-rays versus the most recent one." "His symptoms went from one extreme to the other." The trend is toward using arabic numerals unless your client or QA insists on it. Ages, too, are always in number form. ...BOS II pages 278/279. ....nm
Octreotide usage in neonate
Subject: Octreotide usage in neonate
It is indeed a GI med, however....Chylothorax is the most common cause of pleural effusion causing respiratory distress in the neonate. Cases unresponsive to conservative management usually require surgery. We report a case of spontaneous neonatal chylothorax where surgery was avoided with the compassionate trail of octreotide. The chylothorax resolved promptly with no observed side effects. After reviewing the literature reporting the use of octreotide in the neonatal period, we found that neonates with isolated spontaneous chylothorax might be viewed as a group different from those with major cardiac malformations. They are at a lower risk for adverse effect of octreotide and lower threshold for commencement of octreotide may benefit them most

Dictated: The foot was prepped, Hibiclensed and draped in usual sterile fashion.
would you recast the sentence? My QA suggested that it should be transcribed "The foot was prepped, Hibiclens and draped in usual sterile fashion."
This doesn't make sense to me because the foot cannot be Hibiclens. I had typed it as dictated per our guidlines on dictator style, and i have .75% off my QA score on it.
Does anybody have suggestions? How should it be transcribed??

Terminology/usage questions...please advise
Subject: Terminology/usage questions...please advise
Okay, the dictator says "subcu". So, I type "subcu" because it is a verbatim account.
QA changed it to "subq". I challenge this and the advisor I asked said that AAMT BOS says "subcu" but never "subq".
Then comes along a spider (oh, excuse me, supervisor) who screams at me because, HE states, we should NEVER use "subcu"..we should always figure out which one is meant and ALWAYS spell it out. I said I don't see that written anywhere and this is a verbatim account.
He states no one anyone, no matter what the customer says, should type things like cath, subcu, alk phos, preop, tib-fib, etc.
Do any of you type those things? I just want to know the simple answer. I believe the advisor I asked because they showed me in the BOS where it was.
I think he's too uptight, lol.

CLINICAL IMPRESSION:
1. Fever.
2. Bronchitis. Rule out a right pneumonia.
3. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
4. Atrial fibrillation. Rule out arrhythmia.
The reason I do it that way is because way before, we used to line Rule out under let's say Atrial fibrillation, yielding 2 lines. It used to be done that way back in the early 90s. Now it is not done that way. So, I give the impression which would be atrial fibrillation and begin a new sentence....because they have to rule out an arrhythmia. I don't think it is etched in stone, so either/or would be fine. *S*

Surgical luminaire
Document: United States Patent 5709459
Abstract: A luminaire for use during a medical procedure utilizes a single optic fiber for providing a beam of light having an initial beam width and an initial beam energy. The width of the beam is adjustable without substantially decreasing the beam energy, and the beam of adjusted width can be directed onto a surgical field. A headband for mounting a luminaire is formed of a perspiration-absorbent cloth strip, has hook-and-clasp engagement, and includes a luminaire mount.
