UOP? Got a resident who wants to
Subject: UOP? Got a resident who wants to

abbreviate everything - must think she's paying the bill.  Anywho - she's dictating the PE and at the very beginning says:


AF/VSS (afebrile/vital signs stable, I assume) and UOP adequate.  Then goes on with no acute distress, alert and oriented, yada yada yada.


So what exactly is UOP?

Subject: thank you for your replies - suspect

this is another case of a doctor thinking he knows it all and spelling it incorrectly - he never did state the term, he just spelled it, which makes me suspect he does not know HOW to pronounce it! I painfully put what he dictated and will let him worry about it! Thanks again!

Subject: I would suspect he just misspoke

and would probably leave that syllable out, but I can't tell if you gave us the exact full sentence you heard, either.

missing something here. Buccal is an adjective, so if that is indeed the correct term, you need a noun to go with it. What kind of surgery is this?

I have a name that I can't understand in the document anyway (person's last name) and I can't find it to verify spelling - so it's got to go to QA anyway, I come back here and post if/when QA gets it in case someoen else ever has it. TY for those that tried looking also.

Doc may have meant take 2 tablets in the morning and said the q just as a habit. I would certainly question having to take Lexapro at 2 a.m. In my opinion, don't guess - flag it.

Seems obvious he meant ACL.

During CBC doctor says "counts of 7.7" Later in the sentence he says white count of 11,900. Would he be referring to RBC and should this be flagged for clarity????? It's unclear to me but then everything he says is. Thanks for your help.

When I got to the exam, she only weighs 111 lbs, so that makes me even more concerned that he just got lazy and just said "5" because he definitely didn't say 0.5 or even .5, it was just 5. I hesitate on questioning things that could be borderline, I always worry about them getting huffy if I dare to suggest they might have said something wrong, especially if what they said was what they meant, but then I think, I work at home in another state and wouldn't know him from a hole in the ground, what's he going to do, come to my house?!?!?

dictating a medicine of Xanax 20 mg t.i.d.  I'm only an MT, not a pharmacist, but 20 mg sounds awfully high, especially when the doses are usually in the 0.5 to 2 mg range.  I checked and it comes in 0.25 mg up to 2 mg.  I'm just wondering if I should put a QA marker here and ask them to double check or if I should just type what I hear and let it go through.  Has anyone else heard of somebody being on this high of a dose of Xanax before?  Thanks!
