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!!
Robinul catheter mystery solved
Subject: Robinul catheter mystery solved

A while back I posted a question about a catheter that was being dictated in a urologic or gynecologic procedure that sounded very much like Robinul, but I couldn't document any such catheter and was flagging it only to find QA put in Robinul.  I thought maybe, just maybe it was red rubber or something like that.  Well, I've heard the catheter mentioned in various procedures since then, and it really, really sounds like Robinul.  Just now, however, I had an ENT procedure dictated, and I tried googling it spelled as a-r-o-b-i-n-u-l, and Google redirected me to the correct spelling.  It's Rob-Nel!!!!  I'm soooooo glad to have this mystery solved.  Just thought I'd share in case this information could be of use to anyone else!
