In cholecystectomy, Dr. uses Endo Clips but what is the correct way to transcribe "the duct was endo-clipped"?  (Endo Clipped??--just doesnt look right).  Thanks so much for any help.

Sentence is: 

The patient then had an episode of ventricular tachycardia that was short-lived and received amiodarone 150 mg IV on a S/L "drip clip."  

Talking really fast, this sounds right to me, but wanted to verify??  

Thanks  

The patient shut his thumb in a car door.  The doctor wants to drill a hole in it.  He dictates:  "Using a heated paper clip, a reasonable sized hole was drilled....."

Is paper clip correct? 

In vasectomy,

The vas deferens on the left was then grasped with s/l "hell or helm" clip

This can be very crippling disease.  I have a friend who is only 33 and cannot even scratch her own nose.  She cannot turn over in bed or do anything for herself.  It is a progressive illness.  When she was little, she could walk and do everything a normal child could and by the time she was a teenager she was in a wheelchair.  Now she is completely disabled.

May I bring my own reference materials?
Reference materials are not allowed in the testing center, and none will be provided. Electronic aids such as spellcheckers and abbreviation expanders will not be permitted. One of the consequences of using secure testing centers is the elimination of reference materials. However, the exam has been designed so that a level 2 medical transcriptionist (as defined in AAMT’s "MT Job Descriptions") can pass using their critical thinking and problem solving skills and without using any reference materials.

Do I need to find my own proctor?
No. The new exam is being delivered at proctored testing centers.

The nitroskaph had allowed the retraction to lateralize.

Talking about doing a myringotomy.

The patient had lateral split depression fracture of tibial plateau and was diagnosed wtih shatzka type 2 fracture. 

Thanks

BREASTS:             Fails to reveal any evidence of cellulitis.  Her ______ cath is in place. 

THANKS A MILLION!

All I can give is this:

HEENT:  No (s/l: a-la-fearing) pinkish conjunctiva. 

(the patient has active airway disease and is in recovery using Albuterol MDI and Z-pack antibiotics. after that statement she moves on to the rest of the review.)

malampoti??? classification III, visualization of the soft palate in the base of the uvula only.

Could maybe be saying CII for continuous insulin infusion?  Are they trying to control glucose?

I find that no matter how many times I  think I know this, it always gets me sooner or later, usually on the last thing I am typing for the day!!

Here is a link. Hope it helps.
