? On trigger point injections
Subject: ? On trigger point injections

This is a trigger point injection into the quadrautus lumborum using 0.5 xylocaine and 0.25 cc s/l "alloquants".  This is on a template that is already filled in for me but the word "alloquants" comes up as underlined in red and I cannot find any info online about what it should really be.  Should I leave it in the template as-is?  Or does someone know what it really should be?


Thanks!

Subject: SR is sustained release and ER is

ER is extended release. It appears ER is the official way with glipizide, and yet SR would be just as clear to other MDs. So if you are supposed to correct, use ER. If you are supposed to transcribe verbatim, just give it to him, IMO.
