Orthopedic surgeon is doing I&D and wound exploration on a patient with a comminuted tibial fracture and his leg is all messed up. So, the doc says "Tom, Dick, and Harry are all intact." I figure he said this because he was too lazy to list off the various structures he was encountering but maybe he was referring to some specific anatomy?

I thought I was losing my mind when I heard "beetle nuts." Now that I have this information, I'm writing it down for future reference. We have a lot of Asian patients in this practice and it is probably what he was dictating. That's what I like about this business - you learn something new EVERY day! That's also what's great about our MT boards - MTs willing to help each other continually learn.

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.

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!

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.
