Subject: I took this from a previous post about eponyms... sm

According to BOS

eponyms

"While the use of the possessive form with eponyms remains acceptible, AAMT's preference is generally to drop the possessive form.

Apgar score, Babinski sign, Down syndrome, Gram stain, Hodgkin lymphoma.

Sometimes an awkward construction calls for use of the possessive form. This patient suffers from Hodgkin's."

on this same question.  Is this an ENT account?  The best thing would be see if you can get verification from the account, might be some name they have for their own conconction of Maalox, Benadryl and Xylocaine.  I've seen plenty of things misspelled in reports, even standards handed out by an account itself...

Sorry, should have been more specific. Dictator is probably slurring the word "ophthalmic" drops. There is no thalmic drop. The word "thalamic" refers to something else entirely. Please just type out ophthalmic drops.

He probably does mean the injection will help clarify where the pain is coming from.  That is the whole purpose of a a discogram, but sometimes they are inconclusive.  It's just an awkward sentense structure to say clarify the patient.

I'm so confused about the correct way to write prescription abbreviations. I've looked it up in several places and come up with different ways so here it goes. Is it q.d. or q d? What about bid or b.i.d.? Please help. Thank you.

I don't think I was very clear. 


Doctor dictates Medications listed on s/l Card-ex from skilled nursing facility.    Then he goes on to list medications. 


Some sort of form called "Card-ex"  is what I am looking for. 


Thanks for the responses.

Always go by your company policy and produces. My company states:

Prefix meaning childbirth. For example, tocolysis is the slowing or halting of labor. Sometimes spelled tok-, toko-.

So definitely not toca even though you hear it clearly, the docs are not always right.

This way you have verification in writing of why you chose to keep it this way in case you are questioned on your choice of interpretation. I know we are looking for common sense but we are transcriptions and as we know that is not even close to always being the case in MD dictations.
