Sorry...excerpt from an old joke I heard at a comedy club in Boston once.

You are hearing it correctly.  Some people will refer to a preist or a nun as "Father" or "Sister" and leave out their name.  I met a priest once (just once) and I referred to him as just "Father" when I thanked him for doing whatever it is he did at my mother's wake.  (Can you tell I'm not religious?)  I didn't know his name or anything, and besides, that's what I heard everyone else around me call him. 

I think the name Mary is just one of those many "good Irish-Catholic names"...kind of like the one I got stuck with but instead bury it with the name "Hayseed."   

I'd love to put these into my file, and I'm not questioning the legitimacy (okay, I am, but I gotta because it's my patootie on the line), but is there a link to these bad boys you can share?

but transudated fits definition-wise.  I mostly hear transit in terms of things moving throug the bowel.

It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets.  Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:

They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.

I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!

Hi.  I do quite a bit of OP notes with lots of deliveries and surgeries for OB/GYN.  I do agree with the previous post that those books would be extremely helpful, but I totally understand being strapped for cash (single mom with three kids here).  I thought this website might offer you some help until things start to get a little better for you.  You will find links here for just about everything. 

I hope this helps. Good luck with everything and congratulations on your upcoming wedding 

Hope this helps.  There are also sample OB/GYN operative reports you can look at.

for the past 10-15 minutes - I wish my plastic surgeons, who use the V.A.C. System all the time and I've been working for them 10+ years - would have corrected me over ALL this time......*cyberslaps them* *LOL*

Well, I thank you and the person who posted the corrrect answer (was that you?).....for sending me in the right direction.  Actually it's better because now I will type in the periods and that's 3 more character spaces to get paid for *rofl*

Thanks :) 

Somebody recently mentioned a site where you can go and put a * in the part of the word that you can't get.  Example: 

ap*ectomy = appendectomy.

Can you tell me again where this site is?  It's sooooooooo helpful!!

Thanks!  

Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription?  I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me.  There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records.  I've used Google, but can't seem to find it.  I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist. 

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses! 

Thanks!
