I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it.  She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants.  Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

That would be one way to do it.  The doctors always seem to treat the phrases as a single entity, so I usually ponder it for a few minutes and then end up typing it the way they say it but wondered if it was correct or not.

I found Ultracet in my drug book as an analgesic but I did not find Ultracef. However, on google it lists Ultracef as an antibiotic but I do not find it everywhere I look so I did not know if it was an approved medication.

That is why I asked.

Another interesting term is distention. (sm)

There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:

* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS.  They are interested in quality work.  It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it.  I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine.  btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.

after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods.  Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).


Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.


Probably too late, I'm sure.  Better late than never, I guess.
