all so much. I knew that I knew this, but couldn't find it anywhere! I guess I wasn't even close to the correct spelling, or it would have come up somewhere! Long day already!

... this is too much  Years ago I used to work for a microfilming company, where they microfilmed medical records.  I was working on MP cards from the late 1980s/early 1990s and came across a doctor named Dr. Slaughter -- I thought no way would this guy be my doctor.

Patient has nausea and vomiting, and dictator is ESL. I've been doing radiology, so I can't believe I can't find this when it sounds so familiar. Grr.

Medications: s/l Avaflow D5 half-normal saline ...

Yes, I've googled, but I'm not even close.
Oh my goodness. Cut the girl a break.
Subject: Oh my goodness. Cut the girl a break.

She's new.  She's already stated that.  She's trying to do a good job.  I don't think the answer is to kick someone when they are down.  She probably has received very resourceful information here as most are willing to help newbies.  Give the girl a chance!   She's not asking a s/l or asking the board to take her test for her, she's just feeling a little frustrated.

Turns out that the patient is having very high fevers giving impression of left lower lobe pneumonia. Came across a brand name of a drug used in mouthwash called Advexin. They were talking about oral cancers...but then cross-referenced on http://www.pharma-lexicon.com/ and found (generic Mepron) atovaquone, classified as an anti-infective used in both adults and children who are at risk for PCP with initial doses of 750 mg per 5 mL. Since Hodgkin's lymphoma and bone marrow transplant would put this girl in a severely immunocompromised state, I would bet they are giving her a pretty hefty dose of the stuff. Atovaquone it is.

Thanks for helping me.

Like ...there were lewes....or something.  You are probably right, and I finally found it in stedman's and it says *sternal angle* and that seems to fit the way the doctor used it.  Thanks again.

I was thinking along the lines of this from the begining....compression over lower extremities.....just wish I didn't hear otherwise!  (I hate Monday's)

but I have this doc all the time and she's never dictated time like that before, so I just wasn't sure.  Thanks to all who replied.

just got ahead of herself when dictating it in the assessment..because I definitely didn't hear an itis at the end...just a gingival or gingivo sound.

but was unsure. It's an ESL doctor and she says it twice. It doesn't really sound like there is an F in the pronunciation, though.

This client requires headings whether or not dictated, so I wanted to make sure I'm correct.

Anyway, I have always typed it under abdomen, but I went looking to make sure, and I did find it in a sample report with it listed under back.

However, I just found a very good article called "Varney's Midwifery" that says it is part of the abdominal exam.

Thanks!
That's what I was thinking.
Subject: That's what I was thinking.

Most of the references I found say that if a patient is unable to consent to surgery, two doctors can sign the consent form on the patient's behalf. I am just not sure if the dictators mean double-doctored or double-documented when they say double doc'd. I do all ops, so it comes up fairly often.

Subject: thinking...

The left wrist is inspected showing there to be a visible soft tissue swollen area of the dorsal wrist closer to the radial aspect of the wrist. It is approximately 3 cm in diameter. Mobile tender to palpation and consistent with the ganglion cyst.

I was thinking a comma should go after diameter and before mobile. (where I have a period) What do you think?

Subject: I was thinking that too until...

...a couple of lines down he said the patient was circumcised. This guy completely rambles. I really didn't know about hair tourniquets until tonight's dictation. (Now If only I could forget the mental image!) Thanks for taking time to answer--this newbie appreciates it.

false lumen, but that when googled is associated it looks mostly with aorta. Unless you think they could be talking about the abdominal aorta???
