Subject: short s/l blust exam.....psychiatry...
I have come across this twice now and still can't seem to figure out this term. Sentence reads, "Short s/l blust exam showed the patient’s total score of 10 noting again the patient gave the wrong month." This is part of mental status exam section regarding screening questions. I am wondering if this could be -- Bankson Language Screening Test (BLST)? I would love to know the answer to this. TIA.

Psychiatry 3 Allied
Subject: Psychiatry 3 Allied
Hello,
I am going over this dictation for the umpteenth time and am wondering if anyone else that has gone through Allied, could help me out with the Psychiatry #3 assignment. In the first paragraph, "Patient is a 78-year-old female who was status post total knee replacement approximately 13 months ago. Patient had persistent pain over the medial and lateral portions of the femur in the parapatellar region with slight lateral patellar tracking. Patient had failed considering treatment. She opted for surgical intervention."
I am pretty positive that the sentence, "Patient had failed considering treatment." is incorrect as it does not relate to the rest of the dictation. Yet, I can not seem to figure out what the dr said. Any help would be so appreciated! Thank you!

Subject: Question about eye exam...when everting lids on eye exam (sm)
It is EVERT, not AVERT, right? I have always typed it with an E but I have a PA who keeps insisting it is A. I always thought Avert applied to gaze, as if to look away. Just want to make sure everting the eyelid is the right term. TIA.

I'm doing a Review of Records list, and it says Request for AX to refer PT to a "Psych." I was thinking it meant access, but I don't know if that would make sense. Anybody know what AX stands for in this example? Thanks!
P.S. If it's obvious, bear with me, I'm a newbie still. LOL
short example
Subject: short example
All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.

I doubt you could get all that with one keystroke. I don't have anything with just one key stroke. You could, however, try something like endx that is 4 strokes, but the whole thing would pop out. Here is what I do cad = CAD, cadx = coronary artery disease, and so on.

Got to have at least a whole sentence or you would be getting guesses at best. Try to include as much a scenario as you can in your questions. Key is to be accurate, no guesstimations allowed!! At least in MHO (my humble opinion).
