How would you handle this?
Subject: How would you handle this?

I have a doc who rather consistently uses the word "escharrified," meaning to him covered with eschar.  "Scarified" really doesn't have anything to do with the already-existing presence of scars, and having an eschar isn't even close.  But he keeps using it, and the general rule, as we know, is verbatim transcribing.  I've been using it the way he says is for a while, now, but I feel like I'm crossing my fingers behind my back every time, and I WILL NOT add it to the spell checker dictionary! 


Just wanted to poll other MTs out there and see how you would handle it and maybe get a consensus.   Thanks!

why point it out?  I highly doubt this newbie will blame this board for anything.  She is going to learn new things from this board as we all have.  She obviously was just feeling a little frustrated.  But to blatently point it out I think is being a tattle tale.  It is too bad you didn't have anyone to assist you.  Neither did I at that time, but to blatently make her look bad on this board makes it seem like you are jealous or something.  Aren't we supposed to be helping one another?  If she lands the job, believe me, it won't be because she asked a verbatim question on this board.  More than likely, this poor girl will land a job not paying very much and learn from that.  She will eventually gain experience and knowledge.    All of us experienced ones won't live forever.  We need to support out future not rat them out.

Flipped bucket handle?
Subject: Flipped bucket handle?

I am reading a report for my mother and I am new to radiology and this is what I have:


"There is a large flipped bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus, anterior horn body and posterior horn with a large flipped component sitting in the anterior intercondylar notch"


What in the world does this mean in layman's terms? Is anybody willing to help? We are nervous because her MRI was yesterday and the surgeon called to get her in tomarrow morning already. I hope somebody knows what in the world this means. Thanks!

Adenosine Cardiolite
Subject: Adenosine Cardiolite

Does anyone know where I can get in depth info about this? I have a cardiologist that it very hard to understand and since I'm not that specialized in cardiology myself, I am having to leave a lot of blanks because I don't know if like LVS of 53%, etc is correct because I can't tell if she is saying LVES or LVS and cannot find either! This is just one example! TIA
Adenosine Cardiolite
Subject: Adenosine Cardiolite

I hope this information helps...

LVES---> left ventricular end-systolic

LVS---> left ventricular strain

(both according to Stedman's Cardiology and Pulmonary words)

I also found this website for some information on cardiac procedures that might help you.

Good luck!!!!

The doctor states, "medium area of moderate to severe infarction with very mild residual ischemia in the anteroapical wall."  I cannot tell if he is saying medium area or medial area- which would make more sense?

CTS Relief Kit®


Provides the surgeon with a set of simple to use, disposable instruments for endoscopic release of the transverse carpal ligament through a single portal.
Endoscopic technque reduces post-operative pain and recovery time for the patient.
Allows the surgeon to resect the ligament under direct visualization through a standard 4mm arthroscope.
"D"-shaped, slotted cannula helps to shield adjacent neurovascular structures from potential damage.
Pen-like knife handle improves the surgeon’s tactile feel and control of the instrument while cutting.


so perhaps a *cannula*? just a thought.

Irrigation was carried out and the subcutaneous tissue was closed with interrupted 3-0 Vicryl after which the skin was closed with a running subcuticular 4-0 Monocryl.  A skin spearing *circumarily* incision was then made and extended down through into the subcutaneous tissue. ------ I could not verify circumarily but found circular incision....  any suggestions??
