I need help.  I have been thrown the lions den, this man garbles his words and I am not used to typing echoes.  I need to know how to is it end diastolic or in diastolic?  Is only the left side measured?

Can anyone help me out?  I am typing an echocardiogram and the sentence was dictated as follows:  "There does not appear to be any pulmonic valve stenosis or regurgitation, although upon color flow and doppler evaluation, there is _________ in the area of the great vessels and aortic valve."  The word sounds like "alucin" or "aleocin".  Thanks!

"Abnormal left ventricular systolic function, LVEF 25-30%.  Ventrical is globally hypothenic and dilated. "  I cannot find a reference for hypothenic but that is what it sounds like.

I only got help for 2 reports, and the people that helped me wanted to help me.

No one was forced and I greatly appreciate their help. I just needed help in some areas that I was having some trouble in that is all.

You and Milton Red Stapler have a nice day.

I am new to op reports and looking for any good reference sites to refer to when needing help. My ops mostly consist of General surgery, orthopedic, ENT, ophthalmology, gyn and plastic surgery.

Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a M&S Equipment words book and an ortho book. Would like some good websites.

Thanks in advance

The area in which you most need help is in how to decide what is ethical. The moderator herself does not allow such reports to be posted here. You should have known better. Now you do.

help new to ortho reports
Subject: help new to ortho reports

Can a person have full finger flexion at the volar wrist?

This is just a statement made in the Objective portion of the report. She is stating he has full dorsiflexion, palmar flexion and radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist. THen goes on to say "finger flexion at the volar wrist irriation with clicking"

This is not a verbatim account and she is somewhat scatterbrained sometimes so you have to fill in the blanks at times.
Tenses in reports

Do the majority of y'all change tenses when the docs dictate them incorrectly?  Normally I'm inclined to, but there are times when I question it.  Of course, my pet peeve is dictating a surgery that already happened, yet everything is present tense!


In this case, here's what I'm questioning: 


The patient was evaluated previously, and a left inguinal hernia is reducible.


Thanks in advance!
