Has anyone noticed this when posting on the word board?
Subject: Has anyone noticed this when posting on the word board?

It's a minor annoyance....but when you go to the verification page, do you have to click in the box to put in the letter/number combination?


On the other boards, the cursor is already there. I can't tell you how many times I have glanced at the code, entered it without looking at the screen, then hit "enter", only to get an error message and have to enter a new code. I finally started paying attention and as far as I can tell, this is the only board that does that.


As I said, minor but annoying.....wanted to see if anyone else has experienced that.


another made up word?
Subject: another made up word?

I have a doc that keeps dictating "dermatomy" when referring to skin incision.  While this makes logical sense to me, I can't find this in any medical dictionary.  Not sure what to put or just flag and bring it to her attention.  Any ideas?

Syncope is a real word meaning a temporary loss of consciousness or faint. "Syncopized, syncopial, syncopizing" are NOT words; edit to had syncope, was syncopal or is experiencing syncope, respectively.

made-up word in hernia repair report?
Subject: made-up word in hernia repair report?

I'm doing an operative report for repair of an incarcerated umbilical hernia, and the doctor says the hernia was dissected free of investing tissues.  The s/l incarsum or incarserum appeared to be preperitoneal fat.  I'm not familiar with this term, and I've attempted to find this through my own research efforts but am coming up empty.

Don't you hate it when you're just sure a word is made up and you look it up only to find that it IS a real word? The other day a doc said conspicuity and I thought, man, if I was going to play with the word conspicuous, I'd go with conspicuosity. I Googled it and sho nuf, conspicuity is a word.

Subject: She has not stopped posting her name

She was on last night answering the one about chemo drugs.

No, you are not the only one seeing this. We seem to be the only ones talking about it.

I have noticed her quite a bit in the last few days and it just amazes me the answers she gives. I do not think she will stop, and I agree, I hope the people she is giving the info too will double check or leave it out and let their QA people handle it.

These are legal documents.

want to start with the word you think you aren't getting because if you post the whole sentence, usually it will turn out you went astray earlier and suddenly it all makes sense.

To the Monteurochannel posting. sm

I got this straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. Actually from the Peds Urologist whose work I do. He lives in Arizona.


A bladder augmentation with the small bowel ileum (ileocystoplasty) and the creation of a continent catheterizable channel using the small bowel and reconfiguring that into a short tube or channel that is implanted into the bladder.  That allows the patient to catheterize from the abdomen (often the belly button) rather than having to cath through the urethra since after the augmentation they usually can not void enough to empty the enlarged bladder.  It was described by a physician named Montie (I think at the Univ of Miami) and is now often called a Montie catheterizable channel.  Both are an attempt to make a small bladder (eg neurogenic bladder) bigger to hold more urine and avoid urinary incontinence.  Essentially trading an enlarged bladder with the need for catheterization to maintain continence for too small a bladder and incontinence.

Do you know how helpful that particular site is?!  Well, I'm sure you do because you had it bookmarked....


Here's another question...If a dictator says leuks, do we type in leukocytes or leukocyte esterase?  I have to follow AAMT BOS.  I've gotten conflicting reports from a couple of QA people over the years, so I never really know what to go with and wind up typing leukocytes but curiosity is killin' me.  


Thank you, Txczech...
