Subject: Half-bent
You sure have a good ear; "is half-bent," would fit in the blank. It sounds like a case of Paget's disease; sounds like the patient's upper body is at 45 degrees with his pelvis.

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.
I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.
I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!
I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.

D5 half-normal saline is correct - I think BOS
Subject: D5 half-normal saline is correct - I think BOS
it's one bag of dextrose and half-normal saline - 1 bag. They always say D5 half-normal saline. In 30 years, I never heard them say *D5 in half-normal saline*.....I have heard D5 and half-normal saline though.
BOS, while I respect it and use it all the time, is not the end-all, be-all on many subjects and there are errors AND inconsistencies throughout the BOS.

Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?
For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ½+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ½+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?
Thanks.

Body temperature
Subject: Body temperature
Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7. (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain). This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s. Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s. Am I missing something here? Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about? So far I've flagged them as blanks.
Thanks!
