Subject: love google but they are wrong on many things..s/m
I use google 24/7 but then you must double-check where the information is actually coming from, a legitimate (NIH) medical website or a bulletin board or some website that isn't regulated by any medical group, understand? I remember first googling Spironolactone and google had it misspelled! So, I make sure the info is coming from rxlst.com or drugs.com or any govt-regulated site....
Hope that helps. Orthopedics was my first field 29 years ago and it's always been patellofemoral, all relating to what you described while asking about patellAfemoral (as I know it, no such word with the a).
If I am wrong, I am sure to get flamed *lol*

Picc versus PIC, sm
Subject: Picc versus PIC, sm
Actually they are two different things, according to my sources. The PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is inserted to the vena cava, thus it is "central." The PIC (peripherally inserted catheter) is inserted locally, not to the vena cava. I actually had one of these, it was in my AC space. PICC is the term that is used unless they specify local. If anyone has any other info I would be interested to hear it. Thanks.

Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

Subject: This has gotten me too many times...
I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this. Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative. While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool. Wouldn't that be repeating herself? So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac? Thanks bunches!

Which is correct? What do you use?
Times 2 or x 2
Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.
Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??
Thanks,
Jen

s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three
In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:
"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress." For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in no acute distress."
Does that sound right? He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.
thanks!
