A Veress needle was placed and no complications with that. The *meniscus test was positive.

"intact subscap tear"
Subject: "intact subscap tear"

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)!
