I found the same thing.  Either is correct.  That seems to be all the other poster was saying. I do not see the big deal.

Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm
Subject: Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm

While the gastrocnemius and soleus are 2 separate muscles, they come together in a common insertion to form the Achilles tendon, hence the frequent references to the "gastrocsoleus complex." The term "gastrocsoleus" would not be seen in Grey's because the information deals with the anatomy of each muscle individually, but that does not mean the two cannot be referred to and transcribed in the above manner.

Stedman's shows it as "gastrocnemius-soleus complex" while HPI Orthopedic Words and Phrases makes a reference to "gastroc/soleus." I have typed it as one word for many years and have never seen any QA objection to it. The bottom line will be, if your particular company or account has a preference, then go with that. In the absence of such a stated preference, however, it is acceptable to transcribe "gastrocsoleus" when dictated. Some will view it perhaps as slang or whatever while others will see it as merely constructing a medical term as done within the acceptable parameters of medical terminology for the purpose of referencing anatomical structures that share a point of commonality.
Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm
Subject: Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm

Some posts just got deleted as we were trying to help someone.  My answer to her format question was: Some of my docs do dictate each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.

Kondremul: Promotes gentle predictable regularity of normal bowel movement. Creamy liquid pours easily and leaves no oily aftertaste. Pleasant tasting and smoothe acting.

Turns out that the patient is having very high fevers giving impression of left lower lobe pneumonia. Came across a brand name of a drug used in mouthwash called Advexin. They were talking about oral cancers...but then cross-referenced on http://www.pharma-lexicon.com/ and found (generic Mepron) atovaquone, classified as an anti-infective used in both adults and children who are at risk for PCP with initial doses of 750 mg per 5 mL. Since Hodgkin's lymphoma and bone marrow transplant would put this girl in a severely immunocompromised state, I would bet they are giving her a pretty hefty dose of the stuff. Atovaquone it is.

Thanks for helping me.
