and a VERY good one that was recommended to me by someone on this board is


www.medicinenet.com and then click on medications.  i also like the way they divide up their alphabet - instead of giving 10 pages of the letter *L*, you can choose *La - Lc* or whatever.

The very next report I got after this one, from a different doc, different place, he says "microfracture" which I think must be what the first one was talking about (she loves the abbreviations). So strange that I've never heard this term, but I get it in 2 consecutive reports!


Yes, weird indeed. When he said it
Subject: Yes, weird indeed. When he said it

I said WHAT?? He is very, very clear too. I will send it in with a blank and see what QA says. Thanks for your help.
That is weird!
Subject: That is weird!

If it's not a verbatim account, I'd use "medications" and "detoxification". I'd think they'd have a hard time picking a fight with those! (Plus, it's more characters!)

Weird question?
Subject: Weird question?

I have a personal question to ask and I don't know if this is a problem or not.  For the past few weeks my left foot will occasionally get so cold I can't stand it and the rest of my body is fine.  This only seems to happen when I am typing.  My right foot is my pedal foot.  My mother had surgery to remove a blood clot from her arm (she almost lost the arm) many years ago.  Is this something that I should be concerned about?  Does anyone else ever have this problem?
weird question here :)
Subject: weird question here :)

I am unsure if I have the spelling correct for this word!  It is talking about the patient having pink eye.  He says he has to clear it out because it is crusty and pusy.    I do not kno of any other way to spell pus other thank this.  It just looks different.  Please let me know.  Thanks.


 


 


it looks weird to me too...I always change it to...
Subject: it looks weird to me too...I always change it to...

it's not necessarily correct - but I think about pussy cats and so the *eye is crusty and has pus* is what I'd put.

Weird phrase
Just had a doc say: Lungs clear to IPPA. It's a first for me, but Google had hits for it, so I'm sure it's common. But how odd to say during the physical exam that lungs are clear to INSPECTION, palpation, percussion and auscultation.

I think of looking carefully when I hear inspection. So it sounds like he somehow took a peak at her lungs. Was he using a bronchoscope for this physical exam (no way - because he'd have documented that carefully so he could charge for it, LOL).

Now I'm off to check and see what OneLook says about inspection. Oy.

Thanks for the laughs.  I kept trying to hear 34 weeks, but it was pretty clear he was saying 24 weeks.  I ended up flagging it as a discrepancy and sent it in to QA for them to figure out.  Thanks for trying, though!

And it is quite obvious you dont have ANY patience...so why bother posting? sm
As a newbie I greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to give their time and knowledge to help me, or any newbie, out. What I dont understand is why people with no patience and an obvious knack for being rude come to these boards and post when clearly they have no intention of helping anyone.

Again, I thank all of the "oldies" who offer help and kindness to the "newbies".
