This piqued my interest and I googled "beetle nuts" with mouth cancer.  Turns out there really is a connection.  Apparently it's a leading cause of mouth cancer in Taiwan, where I guess they chew on a lot of beetle nuts.  Hmm, you learn something new every day!

Subject: Another interesting term is distention. (sm)

There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:

* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

This is a list of "slang medicalese".  There is a comment under "bovied" which applies here and to similar words.  Choose "select" for some other unusual lists.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS.  They are interested in quality work.  It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it.  I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine.  btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it.  She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants.  Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

You can find out everything you need about all these terms.

Basically, though, yes it's possible to have both a G tube and J tube and a JP drain has nothing to do with either. (G and J tubes are used to put something into the body while a JP drain is used to take something out.)

would be intraosseous or extraosseous. Dictator is ESL, but not much accent, but I can't quite make "inofen osseous" into intraosseous. I finally finished that 17-minute report, so I had to send it to QA.
