If either one ties in with the patient's history, etc.

The proximal cortex was overdrilled using a s/l top hat.

The patient was taken to the operating area in supine position and had orotracheal intubation gas anesthesia delivered.  This was after the patient was prior marked in the holding area.  These were s/l wise pattern marks made so as to perform McKissock type breast reduction. 

s/l provo falsidation?

ER was unable to reduce.  I took him to the operating room and did a closed reduction under _____________.

Thanks.

septum is straight.  She has a slight dorsal hump.  There is a little more prominence on the right lateral nasal bone, however this is barely evident.  This could be a continued s/l twilling.  Any ideas? Thanks

manuver was performed using a s/l yoon-blooth. 

Also:  The patient is to recieve DVT prophylaxis and to be s/l leaped. 

TIA

sounds like a test . . . may be related to hearing or ear infection

I'm on this report and the worktype is UPPI evaluation. I think the dictator entered the wrong worktype because it is a letter, but I can't make the call without knowing what UPPI stands for. Any help?

TIA!

So it's possible he could mean subacromial and subacromioclavicular decompression.

I've never heard it put quite that way - is this an op report? I normally only do radiology.

kidneys, ureters, bladder - it is an x-ray.

I truly don't think most orthopedists or chiropractors (both of which were my first fields 30 years ago) like zero alone when they are giving degrees of movement of a limb, i.e., 30 degrees of extension, 0 degrees of flexion, 10 degrees of abduction, and 0 degrees of adduction......I truly don't think they would want zero degrees in any part of that....just my *take*

If we were to follow the BOS2 statement about zeroes in this particular case above, I do believe the orthopedists and/or chiropractors would have a problem with that. 

Even in labs now, I DO type zero troponin for 0 troponin, but I don't think it looks very good when all other labs in same paragraph are numerical....

and let's think about urinalysis...... ..... zero red cells or 0 red cells

(they rarely do this - they will say 0-2 red cells and in that case, the zero is not standing alone and we can use 0 there but it's just more to think about.....because occasionally, if a patient has had hematuria, let's say.....the dictator might very well say:  There are zero red cells.)

just commenting and exercising my own concerns and/or opinions...
