Subject: yeah - there are some people with real smarts on
this board - a number of people that I really trust to get it right when I get hung up on something (and I've been doing this for over 20 years!) - and I'd be happy to send you some sunshine, but here in "sunny" California we aren't hitting very high temperatures, either!

I like to participate because I learn new things every day. It's sort of like "continuing education" for me. And...if I can be of help, I will do that too. I know I would appreciate any help.

One person tells me to put disc for spine and disc for eyes. This is for a neurology account. The other person tells me to use disk for spine and disc for eyes. This is for neurosurgery. I still am not sure which one is correct though  I just go by what the person prefers.

What is the basis for any jealousy here? That concept baffles me. You obviously spent a lot of time into the events of today and I would suggest an alternate outlet...like a l-i-f-e. I do not always come here to flame or denigrate others. That you consider me trouble is of no consequence to me. I have no concern for how my posts are perceived and when I post, I'm usually my ADD and dyslexic self with multiple lines of thinking bouncing around in my head at the same time. I do not self check my grammar or spelling. I'm happy with my QA score of greater than 99.5% monthly because when I work, I allow no distractions. Before I was out of high school, I had the skill set I needed that today's poster lacked and that you commented on as a general rule for all newbies.
If you do not understand my point, that is your failing, not mine. Others have repeated my point so I hope it is a bit more clear to you by now. I will not "leave this newbie" alone (not that I now have a vendetta against her/him now) but you hold no power over my actions, just as I have none over yours. I feel no threat from you, do not feel diminished by you and feel sorry that you are so worked up over today's events.
I had no one to ask questions of at all when I entered MT as I came in as the MT supervisor with years of experience in being a records auditor. When I went home and entered the acute care arena, I had more books than I could count, with my favorite being "A Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary" (first published in the 50s). I didn't make a lot of money my first year at home but every report was superior to those of the other MTs on the account. I feel today's newbie has no excuse for not being able to find many of the answers to many of the issues that were addressed today other than by posting entire reports for strangers who may only think they are qualified to answer. Asking for QA help on entire reports is a crap shoot. On a forum where no one knows who anyone really is in real life, you can easily get crappy help anot not know the difference. Your mileage may vary.
I hope you find some peace and a healthy outlet for your frustrations.

how the client prefers. If you are being marked down for not putting them, then I would go ahead and add them if you cannot get an instructor to let you know one way or the other. Sometimes the docs do dictate vital signs separate from the PE, and unless you have been told to move them under the PE heading, then I would leave them as dictated.

Ortho - This is a real mystery s/l -
Subject: Ortho - This is a real mystery s/l -
Knee pain status post skiing injury, open reduction and internal fixation with tibiofemoral bone grafting. Subsequent collapse and valgus deformity.
X-rays showed evidence of s/l mi-___ (then he possibly says joint)arthritis involving predominantly the lateral and patellofemoral compartment. He has hardware in the lateral aspect of his tibia.
Impression: Osteoarthritis.
The s/l is really garbled, but I'm hoping someone can connect it with the context. This will be the only blank in the report, so not a big problem.....I'd just like to know, if possible. Thanks!!

"The MRI, which I did review, confirms the presence of a 3.3 cm, right, lateral, mid to upper pole renal mass that is mesophytic in nature, extending into the sinus, and is consistent with a renal cell carcinoma."
Now...is mesophytic a real word in this context??? My Stedman's spell checker highlights it as not being a correctly spelled word. I wonder if the doc meant to say something else, or is this used correctly????
Thanks everyone!

is 'neurospine'a real word?
Subject: is 'neurospine'a real word?
Hi all,
I have need of your collective wisdom today.
I ran into a dictator fond of the word 'neurospine.' Where I am now they frown on slang, so I am trying to find out if this is a real word or a doctor-convenient contraction of some sort.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Skye
