Location of thymectomy scar. sm
Subject: Location of thymectomy scar. sm

Under physical exam, my doc says "There is a healed right upper parasternal surcigal scar."  The patient had a thymectomy.  I'm supposed to put this under one of the usual headings for a PE, should it be Neck or Thorax?  (The dcotor usually dictates the heading, but did not this time.) Thanks for any help!

Turns out that the patient is having very high fevers giving impression of left lower lobe pneumonia. Came across a brand name of a drug used in mouthwash called Advexin. They were talking about oral cancers...but then cross-referenced on http://www.pharma-lexicon.com/ and found (generic Mepron) atovaquone, classified as an anti-infective used in both adults and children who are at risk for PCP with initial doses of 750 mg per 5 mL. Since Hodgkin's lymphoma and bone marrow transplant would put this girl in a severely immunocompromised state, I would bet they are giving her a pretty hefty dose of the stuff. Atovaquone it is.

Thanks for helping me.

just got ahead of herself when dictating it in the assessment..because I definitely didn't hear an itis at the end...just a gingival or gingivo sound.

This client requires headings whether or not dictated, so I wanted to make sure I'm correct.

Anyway, I have always typed it under abdomen, but I went looking to make sure, and I did find it in a sample report with it listed under back.

However, I just found a very good article called "Varney's Midwifery" that says it is part of the abdominal exam.

Thanks!
That's what I was thinking.
Subject: That's what I was thinking.

Most of the references I found say that if a patient is unable to consent to surgery, two doctors can sign the consent form on the patient's behalf. I am just not sure if the dictators mean double-doctored or double-documented when they say double doc'd. I do all ops, so it comes up fairly often.

He is in rare form today. I think he meant to say compression but it honestly sounds like inspriation. Sigh*** I mightjust sent it through with a flag.
