Subject: Personally, I prefer the "thanks in advance" method, as (sm)
adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

ESWL expansion?
Subject: ESWL expansion?
I have always been taught ESWL stood for electric shock wave lithotripsy. However, I stumbled upon a web site today for says ESWL stands for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Are these interchangeable?? Which do you use when your doc just says "ESWL" and you need to expand it?
Thanks for any info!
Correct expansion of CPK
Subject: Correct expansion of CPK
CPK stands for CREATINE phosphokinase. Use of CREATININE phosphokinase to stand for CPK is a common mistake made by many docs and MTs. I don't think a CPK level would be a first-round test for fatigue.

they put in tissue expanders before actually doing the tissue expansion in which patients return for fills to the expanders until they are at a proper volume, usually at which point the expanders get changed out for permanent implants (gel or saline).

Subject: Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm
but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue. I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget. I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term. Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days! Glad we could help you!
Do you use word expansion software?
Subject: Do you use word expansion software?
I use SmartType and something similar happened to me regarding the gobbling up and the hour glass going crazy. I ended up getting more computer memory and it quit happening. Also, if Word 2003 is bundled with MicroSoft Works or MicroSoft Office, it will also happen.

This patient recently got a diagnosis of Soft Tissue Rheumatism: He says:
She has a history of pelvic and scapular s/l tills, polyarthralgias, tight hamstrings and stated she has lost weight.
And in the other spot it sounds like he is saying pelvic and scapular tilts. Any ideas? Thanks!

Subject: I always put it exactly as the doctor says it
Sometimes they say "levocurvature" instead of "levoscoliosis" because the curvature may be caused by the way the patient is positioned. The doc may be reluctant to diagnose a scoliosis on the basis of just one study.

consistently makes up his own drugs. He also makes up his own words. If I hear the non-word "equivocable" one more time, I am going to scream. He's a great dictator as far as being clear speaking, he just likes to improvise on his words a bit. Not fun for me.
THANKS!
