BNP/BMP confusion
Subject: BNP/BMP confusion
I know BNP is an indicator of heart disease, but when is a bone morphogenic protein BMP test indicated? For example this is 3yo with pneumonia and doc is saying CBC and BMP, obviously it is not BNP. I have a lot of trouble distinguishing between the sounds of BNP or BMP on all docs. TIA

retractor confusion
Subject: retractor confusion
Stedman's 3rd edition Ortho Word Book shows Hohmann retractor and Homan retractor...but no Holman listing. Stedman's Medical Equipment shows "Hohmann," "Holman lung" and a plain "Holman" listed under retractors...but no Homan (as found in Ortho). Logically, since Holman does not appear in the Ortho listings and Homan does not appear in the Equipment lisings, that leaves Hohmann....but also leaves one to wonder what the plain "Holman" retractor is in the Equipment book and why the Ortho book shows the "Homan". Still confused.

Stedman's abbreviations book. It lists AFib but with "atrial fibrillation" as the definition in red. On page xxii of this book under SLANG, it states:
"Slang terms are commonly short forms or actual abbreviations. Slang terms, sometimes dictated or written in rough drafts, are not appropriate in formal documents, and should always be expanded or replaced with the corresponding expansion or translation. We have identified slang by printing the expansion in red ink."
Hope this helps.
number confusion
Subject: number confusion
I am confused as to how to type out numerals with fractions included such as 1 1/2 or one and a half. Ex. In the sentence ... The patient was involved in an altercation about 1 ½ years ago and sustained a stab wound to the proximal left forearm. Would it be typed 1 1/2 or use one and a half. Also in the sentence ... Alcohol: One to one and a half bottles of port wine per day. How would that be typed out .. I know you can't start a sentence with a numeral so it has to start with one .. but would you type One - 1 /2 or one to one and a half. Sooo confusing for me. Please help. Thanks.

apostrophe confusion...Grave's?
Subject: apostrophe confusion...Grave's?
I was corrected when I typed in Grave disease but according to BOS rules for posessive forms you should omit the 's unless the noun is omited following the eponym, eg. Grave disease or Grave's or Alzheimer disease or Alzheimer's. Is Grave's an exception to the rule? Is there a steadfast rule that I should follow on this as to what follows the rule and what doesn't and if there is, how do I remember?

My primary acct is a verbatim but am allowed to make grammatical corrections as long as it does not change the meaning. One of my docs dictated *monna releaser*. After getting my laugh for the day, I typed *I am going to release her*....this one was not an ESL. Gotta getta good laugh once in a while to keep sanity....

Would this be actual "verbatim" transcription or correct, per BOS? What would vertaim be when you have to type exactly what they say even if it is not proper? I think that is what the OP was asking. Now I am curious.

PPD is a test for tuberculosis. You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor. You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.
That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.

General surgeon talking about frozen section pathologic exam of squamous cell carcinoma lesion. First frozen section came back with positive margins so he went back to excise a second specimen which he submitted S/L "on fos" with the new margin up. This is a verbatim account and this dictator is on 100% QA (all reports) since he is so SPECIAL. I referenced the other reports in his MD data base and found "en Fos" which would have been put there by QA before the report was signed off to the hospital. I can't find this anywhere and was wondering if anybody has a clue?

If doc says "gasenous indigestion" and you are supposed to type verbatim, do you leave it gasenous? It's gaseous right?
Sorry, stupid question?
verbatim?--gasenous?
Subject: verbatim?--gasenous?
When typing verbatim would you commonly use a virgule like that? This verbatim thing is new to me and its got me all turned around. I cant tell if doc is saying "gasenous (meaning gaseous) indigestion" or if he is saying two symptoms the patient had, gassiness and indigestion. He says them right in a row like that.

Is this a verbatim account?
Subject: Is this a verbatim account?
If not, it would make more sense like this:
It would help beneficial organisms AND commensals bacteria colonize his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
If not, then I would type:
It would help beneficial organisms, commensals bacteria colonozie his colon and help as a first line of protection against disease.
Since they want the beneficial bacteria and commensals bacteria to colonize his colon, there is no need for a comma before colonize.
