Tessier Surgical Word Book, Third Edition which is the newest edition. Methinks your QA person is wrong (and needs to be brought down a peg or two  ). I think some of this QA people get a wee big headed and think they are always right. Doesn't sound like he's/she's bothering to reference it because if she did, she wouldn't be able to find it.
Go get 'em!

Subject: How do I type this particular type of dialysis bath? sm
Doc is an ESL and unclear, but it s/l he is saying "...using a 3 K 21/2 bath." I have never had this in a report and after googling, am still as clueless as I was. I cannot find it in AAMT, either. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN. Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading. Hope that helps!
Great new gal.
You had a great question, and you are going to be a great MT. If my response sounded a little cranky, I did not mean to be. My point is after 25 years, I am not in the business of practicing medicine, and my inclination is that the doc, being a good doc, removed the colostomy bag and examined the colostomy site; and what he actually meant was, "no blood coming from colostomy site". But to add the word site or bag, when he said neither, gets into the business of practicing medicine and that is not our business. The best thing to do is put the responsibility back on him and go verbatim. You are going to be a great MT, I worried to death about things exactly like this 25 years ago. Good luck and come on the board anytime, plenty of people helped me, and still do.

I do think it must be organism/bacteria, and you probably have them right. But how do they expect us to know what they are talking about when they throw out obscure acronyms like that?

you have support from the MTSO, at least.
All my books agree with you, and I remember this being discussed in many forums. The word smiths always agree it should be 2 words. Maybe this coder would like you to start throwing codes around in reports?? Then tell her not to change your codes. :oD
