I'm pretty much clueless with regular clinic work. I basically went from school to typing ortho, so there's a lot of things I learned in school that I've never applied, and this is one of them.
At any rate, I learned it was mmHg, but with the doc dictating just mm, it threw me a little bit and I was wondering if I should type it as mm or mmHg, or does it matter...
Sorry I was so vague in my question. I typed it out fast, as the phone was ringing.
Thanks for your reply. :)

tele?? plse see msg....
Subject: tele?? plse see msg....
Doc dictates: she had an arrhythmia that led to problems with her blood pressure, which led to problems with her mental status, which led to pulmonary problems, which led to being intubated and she was in the ICU for about a week, four of those days intubated. She was then in tele for another week after that.
Would it be telemetry? This is in a letter and I would rather use the whole form of the word. TIA

Patient has ear pain. Has had myringotomy tubes placed in the past.
The right TM was a little dull, with loss of landmarks and either a fluid s/l wave or some fluid related to the eardrum. There was no evidence of a myringotomy tube in the ear canal.
Fluid level? Does that work in this regard? Thanks.
HER2 FISH, plse see msg.
Doc says HER2 FISH is positive. Is this the correct way to type this, should it be FSH instead of FISH? I would always hear HER2/neu, now he threw me a curve! Thx
a tough one having to do with radioisotope...plse sm.
Subject: a tough one having to do with radioisotope...plse sm.
The patient is a candidate for a sentinel node biopsy based on the intermediate thickness melanoma. Despite the negative lymphscintogram, it is certainly reasonable on the day of surgery for her melanoma excision to inject ? radioisotope at the primary site and with the handheld gamma counter, we may still be fortunate enough to identify a sentinel node that we can biopsy.
He kind of mumbles the type of radioisotope to be injected and if anyone has any ideas, I can see if they match up to what he is "trying" to say! Thanks so much.
s/l curl defect? Plse see msg..
Subject: s/l curl defect? Plse see msg..
It appears the patient's wrap is intact but that the hiatal repair has come undone so the wrap has slipped up into her chest. Essentially there are only two things you can do about this; one is to do nothing and live with it and the other is operate, repair the curl defect and put the stomach back in the abdomen where it belongs.
Is curl defect correct? TIA
