Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites
You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.

psychiatric terminology question
Subject: psychiatric terminology question
Dictated as, "Her thought process was linear, logical, and goal directed," or should it be "Her thought process was linear logical and goal directed"? Since I am unsure, I googled the key words and hit a dead end; that is, never figured out if it is "linear logical" or "linear, logical."
