discectomy or diskectomy
Subject: discectomy or diskectomy
I am typing a report and spelled it discectomy; however I looked at a sample for this account and it is spelled diskectomy. I thought it was discectomy. I looked in Stedman's and diskectomy is not listed. I also checked stedman's online and it does not find it.
discectomy or diskectomy?
Subject: discectomy or diskectomy?
I have always been told it was discectomy with a c and not a k, disc and not disk, etc. Got a note from QA saying it was disk with a k and not a c. Have I been doing this wrong for over 10 years??!!
Thanks for any info!

Usually the "f" would stand for "fusion," and maybe the "p" stands for "plating." This is why abbreviations can be a problem.

This is dictated in an op note on a right knee arthroscopy and partial meniscectomy. The doc says a s/l Poodoo drill guide was inserted and the tibial tunnel placed in an anatomic position. I've tried various spellings on Google, including Peaudeau, Pudeau, Pudu, etc., and I'm not having any luck finding this. Any ideas, anyone?

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!

It sounds like a direct quote from the patient and not the doctor’s words. I would type it:
