Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand"
Subject: Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand".

Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.


http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/anhand.htm


The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.


The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.


Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.

Swelling?
Subject: Swelling?

Should I type this as 6.90 minus 1 with swelling? Just had the same doctor with another patient coming in with labor, and she says "Cervix is 390 and 0." That should be 3.90, meaning the cervical length, right? But what about this patient of 690 minus 1 with swelling? Is that cervical length of 6.90? Thank you.

Subject: Actos for swelling of feet?

Decrease Metformin to once a day.  Will probably reduce Actos to 30 mg a day to decrease the swelling of his feet. 


It sounded right but is Actos going to help swelling of the feet?  He said throughout the report he had swelling of the tongue.  He has type 2 diabetes and sugar levels are running low.  Just checking another opinion.
