Kay Ciel is IV; KCL is oral.

It's mg/dl. As for Kay Ciel vs. KCl, that one always stumped me
due to conflicting QA.  One QA told me KCl, so I'd type it that way, then another QA told me Kay Ciel.  They're both pronounced the same and they mean the same thing, right?  So what's the difference?  Whoever named those drugs is an idiot.
KCl is the generic, Kay Ciel name brand
Offsite MTs have no way of knowing if physcian is using name brand or not unless he specifies. In most cases a service will defer to the generic to be as accurate as possible.
The way I learned it is KCl is used for the outpatient dosage while Kay Ciel is used for inpatient s

oral surgeon...

I had a similar situation a few years ago.  I paid and the ins. co. paid, dentist kept both payments.  After 3 phone calls to the office, no money.  So, I wrote a letter to the dentist, put PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL on the envelope, put a cc to the state dept of insurance at the bottom of the letter (dept of ins. scares them more than the AMA (if dealing with MDs) or American Dental Association). 


Got my money 2 days later.


Has anyone ever had an oral MT test?
I'm applying for an MT job, and this company tests on the phone orally.  If you've had such a test, what was it like?  Thank you!
Went to an oral surgeon for a consult for

my son to have his wisdom teeth removed.  Charged us $75.00 for the consult.  I didn't like the oral surgeon and his office staff were very standoffish can I did not make an appointment with him for surgery, but with another oral surgeon.   I had to pay the $75.00 up front - no problem, but they filed the insurance with the money coming to them.  It has been 5 weeks now since they received payment and I have called twice asking for a refund.  They told me the insurance company had 90 days to come back and ask for the money, but I PAID upfront so what difference does that make, they aren't out anything and they have $52.00 of MY money on top of the $75.00.   They said they would issue a check next week, but is what they told me 2 weeks ago.  It isn't a lot of money, it is the principle of the thing.


Went to another oral surgeon and they didn't charge me anything for the consult and the amount I have to pay upfront is $300.00 less than what the other office quoted me.  


 


Seeing an oral surgeon is very premature! nm

You'd have to stick to oral/dental, because how much do you know about
obstetrics, hip replacements, craniotomies, heart bypass, etc. , etc., not to mention all the medications that have nothing to do with dentistry?
Dental/Oral Surgery

I need a some good dental/oral surgery reference books.  These books would have to include also the names of dental instruments and how they are most often packaged together and what the names of the packs are.


Can somebody help me with some links to some good books that would not only include traditional reference material but also the additional information I am needing?


Thanks, Anne

I made an appointment with an oral surgeon and he
You have to start at the very bottom and be as conservative as you can.  A dentist can take x-rays and fit you with an appliance.  I went and found out whats causing my jaw pain and on the x-ray my bones overlap.  I was thinking I needed surgery, but we are going with pain management.  Since i've had the appliance, no pain, that was a week ago.  Very rarely will you need surgery, everyone's jaw "clicks" but if you are a night grinder, this makes it an even playing field for your teeth so they're not fighting against the jaw to become "even" if that makes sense.  Good luck.
An oral surgeon can do it in his office, give you an IV and you won't
feel a thing.
I received a check today from the oral surgeon. nm
 
I would see an oral surgeon, since dentists cannot perform surgery and that is probably where they
would send you to next.
