Subject: Agreed. Website resource was flawed.

Taber's and Dorland's confirmed polyphaGia.  I'd like to know who the idiots were who invented words that were so close in sound and meaning.

Hi everyone!  I am working on a report and am uncertain of two words, hoping someone here could point me in the right direction! 


Dr. states "Carcinoma of the right colon and underwent a right hemicolectomy.  Final pathology report showed infiltrating adenocarcinoma moderately differntiating _____ _____ to the chronic wall to the mesocolonic adipose tissue, multiple positive lymp nodes."


Thoughts?

It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
Subject: It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that

If a reliable resource had been used, it could have defrazzled the MT looking for a quick fix answer. There is that saying about teaching someone to fish versus just giving him a fish that really applies to being an MT. This MT wanted someone else to think for him/her. So okay, everyone has bad days, but a good MT practices sound research regardless of the day. The poster you referred to as rude was polite enough to point the OP to a site where the entire medication database can be downloaded onto his/her PC and can perform searches in a variety of ways for FREE, and get free updates to drugs as they come out. That doesn't sound as though the responding poster was being entirely rude.

Your comments about hoping the offending responder being given an incorrect answer on purpose was actually much more rude than the one trying to teach the OP to fish.
Stedman's is a good resource sm
Subject: Stedman's is a good resource sm

But it is not the final authority on medical terminology. The medical field is growing and changing all the time. New procedures are developed every day and old ones fade away. Doctors in one part of the country may use a different terminology than doctors in other parts of the country.


Transcriptionists need to learn to be flexible and use their common sense as well as reference materials. Even if Stedman's says it should be "whatever", if the doctor says it a different way, that may be how he/she wants it to be spelled in the report. As long as it is not something totally off the wall that cannot be found anywhere the way the doctor says it, then I think the transcriptionist should respect the doctor's wishes unless told otherwise.


If it is something totally off the wall, I would leave a blank and leave a note for the doctor.

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

Website for transcription
Subject: Website for transcription

Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription?  I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me.  There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records.  I've used Google, but can't seem to find it.  I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist. 


I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses! 


Thanks!
