term most often used with laparoscopic procedures.  I found several sites mentioning an intraumbilical incision.  Here is an excerpt from a sample report from another MT site: 


OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: LAPAROSCOPIC BLADDER NECK SUSPENSION

Trocar placement may vary according to the preference of the surgeon. Usually, a 10-mm trocar is placed through an intraumbilical incision and another 10-mm trocar is placed suprapubically, followed by two 5-mm trocars placed laterally. Laparoscopes with different viewing angles are available. The selection of a straight or angled optic is the surgeon's personal choice. We prefer the straight, forward optic.

He is currently on BiPAP at 14/10 cm of water via a full face mask with heated humidity and no chin strap.  He was decreased from an original pressure of 16/10 secondary to s/l "aerodynia" problems as well as mask leaks.


Has anyone heard of this term?  I can find nothing when I Google it and it sounds very clear.


Thanks

Subject: It is checked...doesn't capitalize after well, site, knee, that, health

Sorry to use the word board for this question. I probably should have put it in another forum. Thanks for any suggestions.

If the words well, site, knee, that or health come at the end of a sentence, the next sentence doesn't auto capitalize.

I'll probably just have to very carefully check every sentence throughout the document, since grammar check doesn't want to work properly today. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.
