that's all the patient would say. I can imagine some patients of a certain generation would not have all of the details or not want to explain them completely. If that was the case, then the doctor may dictate simply all the info that the patient would provide.

I have searched MTStars and can't find my answer.  I have posted this question before and do not get a reply.  I promise this will be my last attempt to find this answer.  I know how to use follow up and follow-up, BUT many people are using followup per BOS.  I can't find followup as a word in any dictionary.  Can someone please tell me where this is found BESIDES BOS?  Thanks in advance.  We are possibly putting in a quality check and I want to make sure I have it correct before then.  Thank you!

You need to getcha a copy of the AAMT BOS
Subject: You need to getcha a copy of the AAMT BOS

I know a lot of folks diss it but it's helpful in settling these kinds of nagging questions that one gets (I don't know about you, but I start overthinking at about my 6th hour in....)

Anyway, here goes:

1. See the Joint Commission list of dangerous abbreviatinos here: http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/DoNotUseList

I didn't realize cc was on there as a "don't do" until I got one when I changed jobs!

And no apostrophe with capped abbreviations, so it's WBCs.


2. q.p.m., I believe.

4. not capped.


5. no hyphen for "non" and other common prefixes. Use good current dictionary as a guide.


6. No comma



7. no colon in military time


8. Unless facility prefers otherwise, lowercase generic and cap brand. No shortcuts, I'm afraid, other than perhaps a good spellchecker or expander.

Hope that helps. Like I said, an AAMT Book of Style is helpful in these kinds of things, though obviously facility preferences take precedence.

Is huffing fermented poop the next new street drug?
Filed under Offbeat, Stuff I Like

There’s been articles floating around on the internet warning about a new street drug called Jenkem. The latest “informational bulletin” from a Sheriff’s office in Collier County, Florida was posted on The Smoking Gun website. Apparently, Jenkem is fermented urine and fecal matter and when inhaled, the concentrated methane supposedly gives off a powerful high.

I checked it out at snopes.com and found this LINK. However, the actual veracity of this story is still considered “undetermined” and a link to a BBC news article was provided. Supposedly, this started with the street kids in Zambia as a cheap way of getting high. The story is too disturbing and too disgusting to go into detail here, so click away at the link at your own risk and not if you plan on eating anytime soon.

The DEA would have a hell of a time regulating something like poop. Moms like me could be the newest victims of this new drug. Who needs a crack pipe when we have a diaper genie we could plaster our face against and inhale it hallucinogenic contents?
