"rectus femoris muscle" and see if any of the other nearby muscles sound like the one he's saying.  It seems like he might be saying "to the _____ and rectus femoris muscle.

can you google what type of ophth
Subject: can you google what type of ophth

procedure you are working on? For instance, the #44 island peeling forceps, google for peeling forceps + procedure. "limmuth" is probably limbus (edge or border or a part) and "lubetadine" sounds like Betadine - sure this is not a numbing topical anesthetic drop? Sorry for lack of help - sounds you have your hands full with this one.

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
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.

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps! 
Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Subject: Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm

Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.
