I've always used PermCath

Subject: I've always used PermCath

If I'm not mistaken, I think I had looked up Permacath on the internet and it didn't come up. A few of the doctors I transcribe for say Permacath, but I always change it.

ChemPort and PermCath--is this right?
Subject: ChemPort and PermCath--is this right?

I cannot get the hang of things like ChemPort and PermaCath or PermCath or the like.  My eyesight is going because I've been squinting for 20 minutes trying to find either of these in my black surgical word book with no luck.  If anyone knows what these are or a reliable website to find out, please let me know. I guess I should have sprung for the more expensive book with bigger print...
Removal of PermCath
Subject: Removal of PermCath


We made an incision over the cuff. It was brought down through skin and subcutaneous tissue and the cuff was dissected free. With the patient in Trendelenburg, the catheter was removed from the (partable? but not portable) sheath.

This word drives me BONKERS.  Can anyone straighten me out as to which one to use.  The doc is definitely saying permacath with the A sound.  Doing an IJ tunneled Permacath or Perma-Cath???? for renal failure.

Subject: PermCath, permacath and Perma-Cath,

Okay, this one gets me too, however, the manufacture I found is listed as Quinton and they make a hemodialysis catheter called PermCath.  I also saw this notation at an Oxford Medical College website referenced.  I use PermCath.

Subject: I've had to do this........

Go to the beginning of the sentence at #1, right click, click on decrease indent and this will put you at the left margin. You can then put (a) manually under the beginning of the sentence and space over 2, then starting typing. Hit enter and put in (b). I know when you hit "b" it will move over. Before moving on, go back to "a", right click, bullets and numbering, customize, go to "aligned at" and make it 0.5. This will align everything where you want it. When you start "c", it will be at the left margin but go ahead and finish a,b,c,d, however long. When finished, highlight this, right click, bullets and numbering, find the box starting with "c" and click it. It will line everything up. From then on,when you type #2, it will line itself up. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Okay, I've had it....
Subject: Okay, I've had it....

I'm typing an orthopedic surgeon at the moment..he and his wife (who is also a surgeon) have developed the same MISERABLE, slurring speech pattern (I thought couples began to LOOK alike, not SOUND alike).  If someone could help before I am bald from tearing my hair out, I would be extremely greatful.  He is dictating a patient who developed an infection from a wound and was taken to the OR twice for "I&D and integator??? plus VAC placement."  It is probably something easy, but I am experienced only in radiology.  I do very well if I can hear what is being said.  A couple of reports ago, his wife dictated a patient who had patysmal blanding...(platysmal banding) and craptional consrapsure (capsular contracture).   Sorry bout this long-winded, whining plea, but thank you for letting me vent.   Heavy sigh...I feel better now. 


I've Always . . .
Subject: I've Always . . .

Corrected grammar--had a time of it explaining to one clinician why it's "between her and her father" and not "between she . . ."--and only VERY rarely have been asked not to do it.

I think they usually know once the correction is made that what they dictated was incorrect.

Although I'm sure there have been raised eyebrows over my typing the correct "he has DRUNK (not "drank") alcohol since age 16" because to them it sounds (but isn't) wrong.

Past participle, doctor, look it up.

Have fun out there,

We all know it's Stedman's but you just couldn't resist, could you? Do you think people might be in a hurry sometimes to post a quick reply or too rushed to proofread their posts? Yes, it's a word help board and should contain correct spelling, but in this case was it really necessary?

The patient has stopped Zocor.  She has been taking s/l *Therical* versions from mustard seed.  This is, I'm sure, some simple word, one I've heard before, but I'm just really stuck on it.  Any thoughts? 


Thanks for any help.
