realized you were correcting yourself after what you had found on the internet.

Scary that the internet is giving wrong info too, and a lot of people go by what is on there without double checking.

Again Sorry.

Yes, my Stedman's and several other books spell it Kitner. And several other perfectly reputable sources spell it Kittner.

WHICH IS WHY I ASKED 'PLEASE DON'T JUST TELL ME HOW YOUR BOOK SPELLS IT!'

Please, does anyone actually have credible reference as to the person who these tools are named after?

Thank you.

excused by please and thank you.  And I did have something to offer.  I offered that since you can document it either way, either should be correct.  FWIW, I googled for   (Kitner, Kittner) blunt manufacturer    and came up with nada.  There is no "credible" reference that's better than what you've got, evidently.

overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

I thought I saw my post come up four times, but now I don't see it at all, so I'll ask one more time.  Hopefully this works and I haven't been too annoying! 


Okay, so the patient has bilateral otitis externa "and is having a lot of swelling in the [s/l "D man"] and in the nasal mucosa.  I injected it with Depo-Medrol and Marcaine and put him on Flonase."


I feel like I should be catching this but I'm stumped!  Any ideas?


Confused.

I was transcribing last night on a woman and the doc said quite clearly, twice, that she was post vasectomy.  Okay, I figured that maybe this female once was a male.  However, by the end of the report I knew that this was not the case.  Anyway, I left a QA marker as I figured what the doc said was incorrect and I did not want to be the one to type that information down.  I checked on the report today and QA had put in vasectomy, just as I thought he said. 


Okay, so my question is:  can women get vasectomies??  I thought it was impossible, but after yesterday my confidence is shaken.  Women don't have the vas for the ectomy.  If I am correct, then why would QA leave something so erroneus in a report?  If it were me I would have left it blank. 


Please, someone correct me if I am totally wrong.

track (track) (trak)  1. the path along which something moves, or the mark left by its movement.  2. of pus, to follow the path of least resistance through the tissues, e.g., along an intermuscular septum.


tract (tract) (trakt) [L. tractus]  1. a region, principally one of some length.  2. a collection or bundle of nerve fibers having the same origin, function, and termination (tractus [TA]); see also under bundle, fasciculus, and lemniscus.  3. a number of organs, arranged in series, subserving a common function.


This is according to Dorland's online dictionary.  I too get confused but I think it should be track.

Examination of his left foot shows there is normal configuration. With plantar pressure between the third and fourth metatarsal head and compression, a popping sensation is elicited, consistent with a Morton’s neuroma.

Shouldn't there be a period after configuration? I am so confused every time I read it I come up with something different.

I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%

In earlier days I was assured that guide wire was a generic term and Guidewire was a brand name, but I sure see it in a lot of sources where it is not capped.

My best guess is yes, cap it, or check with your QA department if you have one.

Doc says sponge, lap and needle counts were correct?  Isn't the lap the sponge (laparoscopic sponge)?  Would you transcribe sponge, lap, and needle counts were correct or sponge (lap) and needle counts were correct?  I hate when something so silly trips me up like this!

I just looked at several reports for this patient, and they each have something different!

I wonder if anyone is reading over these reports to catch mistakes......some from last year.
