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 � 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?

that 'colon' refers to the punctuation, ie, IMPRESSION:, but cannot help you with the last word, which i know is probably what you really needed...

thank you for your replies - suspect
Subject: thank you for your replies - suspect

this is another case of a doctor thinking he knows it all and spelling it incorrectly - he never did state the term, he just spelled it, which makes me suspect he does not know HOW to pronounce it! I painfully put what he dictated and will let him worry about it! Thanks again!

I would suspect he just misspoke
Subject: I would suspect he just misspoke

and would probably leave that syllable out, but I can't tell if you gave us the exact full sentence you heard, either.

missing something here. Buccal is an adjective, so if that is indeed the correct term, you need a noun to go with it. What kind of surgery is this?
