then maybe a slash should go in there
Subject: then maybe a slash should go in there

Looking at various hits on Google, it looks like the acid and the mofetil are 2 different things, so maybe a slash should go in there and it should be transcribed: mycophenolic acid/mofetil field? Would you all agree?

because that is how they have it listed in the EXAM portion of the radiology reports that I type.  If they had it like tib-fib I would type it that way more than likely.    I like to keep it the same throughout.

Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash

HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.

As long as a testee is allowed to use reference material, etc. why should they not ask a question here? I personally research all of my own questions, but I do help out those that ask on this site, as well, if I know the answer. Besides, who made the above poster the "tester police" anyway? I saw no complaint from the administrator concerning multiple posts for a similar question.

He (or she, can't tell!) is saying peri J-tube abscess, which I am taking to mean there is an abscess in or around the J-tube insertion site, but peri-J-tube looks terrible and can't find periabscess or peri-abscess to reword the sentence. I have had this same dictator for the last 2 1/2 hours since I logged on!!!!

some people quote from this thing like it is the Bible or something, and it just is not. There are A LOT of doctors out there who do not adhere by the BOS and prefer their own guidelines. It does not make them wrong. It is just a matter of preference, more than anything. What's the AAMT gonna do, slap your hand if you don't use their guidelines?? shheesh. what a rip!
I would agree with you that...

it's either "skull base structures" or even more likely "skull and bony structures".   I have never seen "scobi" in my years either, but see how it can be easily misunderstood as that for one the phrases above with a fast dictator.

It is a shame when the doctors do not specify what exactly they want quoted.  Tough call, but I agree "too busy".  You kind of have to put yourself in the doc's place.  Doc asks:  Are you exercising?  Pt. states:  "No, too busy.", or "No, I'm too bus."  That sort of thing....

you typed:  **You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine but not Mercy Hospital emergency department.**


I do not agree.....


You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency AND Mercy Hospital Emergency Department. 


You would NOT capitalize emergency department if you typed *emergency department at Mercy Hospital* or *radiation oncology department at Mercy Hospital....


that's how I was taught 25 yrs ago..........
