Docs mispronounce words all the time.   99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath.    Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time.  One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

Subject: This is a great example of how a Medical Phrase Index is handy..sm

I'm not in any way picking on you, but somebody below asked how to look up words when you're not sure what they are. Since you knew it was some kind of fork, you could have looked up "fork" in the MPI and it lists 7 different medical forks, and you would have been able to deduce 'tuning fork' from this since you had a soundalike. I learned more new words from this reference book than anything else.
Books are always good. Dorland's is huge and expensive. The Taber's is cheaper and handy. nm

remember that docs traditionally use the term "ring finger" to indicate the finger between the long and little fingers - it's naming a specific finger, not the name of a finger condition

Subject: For future reference, depends on how it's used.

Per Gregg Reference (of grammar, usage, style, etc.), is lower case--master's degree, bachelor of arts degree, doctorate-- when used generally like in your example.  But capitalized when used as a title, e.g., Jane Doe, Doctor of Philosophy. 


Glad you asked.  I needed a reminder too

Could "Overreactive lispossum" be "overreactive specimen?"

Originally, I was thinking "overreactive splenism" which I would edit to "overreactive spleen" but diagnoses are usually NOT listed with lab values, except maybe as a statement "consistent with..." so that probaby would be wrong, although abnormal cells listed are found in hypo- and hypersplenism.

In any case, just thoughts for future since this is a day or 2 later than original post.

Also, I saw serocytes in lab terms, and assume it should be "spherocytes." At one of my very first temporary transcription jobs at a laboratory, I had mispelled "spherocytes" and "schistocytes" and doctor whose report I typed had me come back to his office and look at slides to see the cells so I would remember in the future.

Have a great day.

Subject: "cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm

JCAHO requires its members to follow an official "do not use list" and "cc" is being considered for possible future inclusion in the JCAHO "do not use list" to be replaced by "mL" because it can be misread as U or unit when poorly WRITTEN...typing it is not as problematic but I go ahead and change it to mL to encourage dictators to make the "mental shift" away from "cc" ...hope that helps! see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations

Subject: For future reference, have reports similar to this quite often. I do transcribe them verbatim, this way there is no finger pointing on what we as transcriptionists take as a "liberty" in interpretation.

If it is ever in question, they can go back to the dictators original dictation (if available) and see that is what he/she said and they are directly responsible for the content of their reports.

Hope this helps.

Hi.  I do quite a bit of OP notes with lots of deliveries and surgeries for OB/GYN.  I do agree with the previous post that those books would be extremely helpful, but I totally understand being strapped for cash (single mom with three kids here).  I thought this website might offer you some help until things start to get a little better for you.  You will find links here for just about everything. 


I hope this helps. Good luck with everything and congratulations on your upcoming wedding
