I have heard of fallen teeth
Subject: I have heard of fallen teeth

I had my bottom wisdom teeth pulled and the dentist told me that unless I had the correlating top teeth pulled as well, the top ones would "fall" or drop because they have no lower teeth to rest upon.   Hope that helps.

Impression:
1. Left de Quervain tendinitis.
2. Left carpal tunnel syndrome.

Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.

Any help is appreciated. :)

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)

Now some are saying it's q. 4h.??  UGH, YUCK!!  I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for).  At least we got more characters. 


First rule:  It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is.  I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable.  What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.


Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces:  q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....


Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience

and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

It makes sense to me.  I haven't heard that before, but I don't see anything wrong with it.  I would assume they are measuring into the esophagus from the edge of the teeth.

I can't seem to find a good reference to this but it sounds like he's saying "triple scope."  Has anyone heard of this or know if I'm hearing right?  Here's the context.  "The patient continues to have no evidence of disease recurrence from her Stage II head and neck cancer treated with chemotherapy and radiation.  A triple scope will be performed."


Thanks!

Don't laugh, I know it sounds stupid, but the only thing they always look at is the IC valve or appendiceal lumen, but it sounds just like that, the pole of Newman.
