Subject: I also have two accounts that want it different.

Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine. It also depends on client preference. It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other. I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on. I have to retrain my fingers. I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.

It sounds exactly like I wrote it, but doctors have been known to create their own words and ways of phrasing sentences. It is just confusing for some of us new MT's. :-( Thanks so much for your help.

are private surgical hospitals, and even with laparoscopies, cystoscopies, hysteroscopies, etc., there are small 1cm incisions, but you are very correct, with either upper OR lower endoscopies (colon or sigmoid) you would have the scope directly inserted..........does anyone else get hired on for "one or two" accounts and end up with a dozen??? just wondering after all this time....

Subject: NO LUCK WITH ETHICON

Suture Selection Criteria

Follow these steps to determine the ideal suture for your procedure.

Step 1

Know the Sutures in the Novartis-Ethicon Family

Step 2

Know Your Tissue Healing Rate

Step 3

Select the Correct Tensile Strength for the Tissue

Step 4

Choose the Correct Needle

TAPER NEEDLES

Used in easily penetrated tissues such as peritoneum, abdominal viscera, subcutaneous layers, etc.
Minimizes tissue "cut-out". Smallest possible hole in tissue is created with minimal tissue cutting.
Also ideal for closing hollow organs to prevent damage.

REVERSE CUTTING NEEDLES

Used in tough, difficult to penetrate tissues such as skin, fascia, ligament, etc.
Less tissue "cut-out" than standard cutting needles.
