coffee-grounds emesis, and that is how it is listed in Stedman's GI & GU book as well.

I stand by my belief that decubiti is a made-up word that is transcribed by many and dictated by many, and just because you can find it on some websites doesn't necessarily authenticate it.

The OP will just have to see what her employer's viewpoint is on the word. He who has the gold makes all the rules!

trademark or register information from the manufacturer does not make it Nitropaste but rather nitro (glycerin) paste. Just my opinion. There ARE registered names for nitro paste but this I believe is doc slang for generic nitroglycerin paste.

I never said that I transcribed that word ~ I only mentioned that the doctor (sm)
Subject: I never said that I transcribed that word ~ I only mentioned that the doctor (sm)

spelled it that way (I always left a blank in the report ~ he would always "write" it in when he got the report back). This was many, many years ago when I worked in-house. I honestly thought it was a "made-up" word as he was the only doctor who used it (I have never heard it used since), so I was surprised to hear of somebody else stumbling onto the same word (or something similar). By no means did I intend to mean that that was the "correct" spelling or that I used that word ~ I apologize if that is how my message was read. :)

I disagree re: deep-seated versus deep-seeded
Subject: I disagree re: deep-seated versus deep-seeded

I believe deep-seeded may be correct.  It is a term frequently used in oncology and dermatology.  "Deep-seeded" means that something has been "seeded" from another site (primary), as in metastasis.  Please do a Google search and form your own opinion on this.

I've had to do this........
Subject: I've had to do this........

Go to the beginning of the sentence at #1, right click, click on decrease indent and this will put you at the left margin. You can then put (a) manually under the beginning of the sentence and space over 2, then starting typing. Hit enter and put in (b). I know when you hit "b" it will move over. Before moving on, go back to "a", right click, bullets and numbering, customize, go to "aligned at" and make it 0.5. This will align everything where you want it. When you start "c", it will be at the left margin but go ahead and finish a,b,c,d, however long. When finished, highlight this, right click, bullets and numbering, find the box starting with "c" and click it. It will line everything up. From then on,when you type #2, it will line itself up. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Okay, I've had it....
Subject: Okay, I've had it....

I'm typing an orthopedic surgeon at the moment..he and his wife (who is also a surgeon) have developed the same MISERABLE, slurring speech pattern (I thought couples began to LOOK alike, not SOUND alike).  If someone could help before I am bald from tearing my hair out, I would be extremely greatful.  He is dictating a patient who developed an infection from a wound and was taken to the OR twice for "I&D and integator??? plus VAC placement."  It is probably something easy, but I am experienced only in radiology.  I do very well if I can hear what is being said.  A couple of reports ago, his wife dictated a patient who had patysmal blanding...(platysmal banding) and craptional consrapsure (capsular contracture).   Sorry bout this long-winded, whining plea, but thank you for letting me vent.   Heavy sigh...I feel better now. 


I've Always . . .
Subject: I've Always . . .

Corrected grammar--had a time of it explaining to one clinician why it's "between her and her father" and not "between she . . ."--and only VERY rarely have been asked not to do it.

I think they usually know once the correction is made that what they dictated was incorrect.

Although I'm sure there have been raised eyebrows over my typing the correct "he has DRUNK (not "drank") alcohol since age 16" because to them it sounds (but isn't) wrong.

Past participle, doctor, look it up.

Have fun out there,
