but tumescing makes a crazy kind of sense when you look at the definition (at least I think so)!

Subject: he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam

It is pretty bad.  When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red.  I so almost panicked.  I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...
So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?

You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??
hair splitting corrections
Subject: hair splitting corrections

The registered trademark is spelled ENDO CATCH, but depending on how QA and the AAMT attacks you it could be right or wrong.  What's right today is wrong tomorrow and changed back the next day.


It's become petty.  If you can spell it, and someone can read it aloud from what you transcribed why isn't that good enough? 


PFFTT!  We are transcribing doctors who say stupid things like "satting," and "Coumadinized," which aren't even real words and they accept that! 


I'm already miffed thinking of how stupid QA and the AAMT are and I have not even finished "coffeeing!"  LOL.

Subject: hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??

I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?

This guy has no accent or anything, and orthopedics is one of my favs--but this guy says FLAP tear one place, and SLAP tear another.  It's stuff like that.  All I can say is thank heavens for QA when I get boogers like this guy.  As much as I hate to add to their workload, I can't take a chance, either. 


And thank you for your help.  Who knows how this will end up.  It's his slurring, not mine (but I may consider it later, even tho I don't drink)!
