but was unable to find a solid form of albuterol, although I am sure that I have seen a gel like substance to be placed in a nebulizer. I know that albuterol is a crystalline powder though and is soluable in water. Perhaps that is what I was thinking. sorry for the misconception on my part. Thanks for making me aware of it.

gauge, Chiba and Touhy needles.  This one is a tough one.  I had suggested Jamshidi needle before, but that is a biopsy needle, not used for drainage purposes.  If you find out what this is, please let us know.  This one is really stumping me.  Sorry I couldn't help.

Dumb question...
Subject: Dumb question...

At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often.  Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation  states pt is on a half mg of something.  For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg".  I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words.  Is the proper way to write this 12.5?  (Does .5 equal a half mg?)  Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question but it is important for the setup of the report.

First the Dr. says knee aspirit ( I assume knee aspiration) Also the main question is would a knee aspiration be considered a surgery? TIA.

I was wondering if this is one diagnosis or 2 diagnoses.
1. RIGHT SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
2. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

The only reason I ask is because I was just released from QA and have never been so nervous in my life about making a mistake. My security blanket is gone..lol. I may be asking a lot of dumb questions for a while until I feel secure again..lol.

Since he didn't say it as you did, does saying "larges" constitute shorthand in doctor speaking?
