Plane or plain?


Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.
Subject: Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.

Little rule I learned a long time ago:


1.  Plain as in "plain Jane", no make up, not dressed up and no where to go.  So plain x-rays are those who are not augmented by any special dye or anything else such an arthrogram or MRI.


2.  Plane as in a space between.  A plane for dissection - a place or space to cut into.

It's hard to judge these things without hearing them - I went with what was closest to the sentence provided. While the patient could have been "dyspneic-looking like a patient with COPD or sleep apnea," that just didn't sit right with my gut.

I am doing an op report: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative cholangiograms.  The doctor clearly says diagnosIS, although I know they do that all the time and then give numbered lists, so I know not to count on that. For the diagnosis, she says "Chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis."  She runs them together just like that, no pause in between or anything.


Do these go together the way I have them now, as one diagnosis just separated with a comma?  Should I have them separated and numbered instead?


I have no samples to go on and I've never done one of these before. What do you seasoned surgery pros think?


Another question. SM
Subject: Another question. SM

This also pertains to the other question I asked.  This doctor is driving me CRAZY.  The audio quality is horriblel - sounds like he is using a can and a string rather than a PHONE.  AARRGGHH.  <deep breath>


Entire sentence: 


"There is a suggestion of a horseshoe configuration of the kidneys with s/l TALLULAH-FORM shaped tissue extending anterior to the s/l AR-AY-LA."
