Madhan's suggestion isn't a chart. If he specifically requests a chart I would type it that way. It doesn't matter what you think looks better. It matters what the doctor thinks looks better.

numbering
Subject: numbering

I have been on psychiatric accounts using numbered lists within each axis or commas, and they could be numbered within a paragraph format or on separate lines, sometimes starting on the same line as the axis heading, sometimes starting the line below. It's all up to the facility or doctor. Even the formatting of the numbers is determined by account specifics, i.e. 1)double space vs. 1.double space vs. 1.tab, etc. I would check with your supervisor, the doctor, or QA, depending on your work situation.
Happy New Year!
numbering with meds

What is the rule with numbering and medications.  This is the sentence:  We used a solution of 2-1/2 cc of 1% lidocaine.  Shouldn't it be 2.5 cc of 1% lidocaine when speaking of meds?


 


TIA

We have a division on our department.  Some say to number the assessment list with a 1. even if there are no other assessments.  Others say if there are more than one we, number, but if there is only one, it is not a list and you do not put in 1.  Whats the deal folks???

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"

Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...

Glad you posted the correct answer.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

I can't think of the word you are looking for (I think it's a regular English word though). But I think the doc is perplexed with the constellation of sx rather than consolation.

Subject: the only reason I asked about the INR is because....

usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report.  He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0.  The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG??  Thanks

The poster centimeter exactly the way most dictators say it - cenemeter... that, and the fact poster could not remember how to type half of one made me think OP may be an off-shore MT (and possibly using an elite anonymous proxy so that nobody would know).  Of course, I'm just surmising as I personally have no *proof*.......

I can't document this with any reference book or website, but I am pasting an e-mail response that I received below:

Your query relates to a medical condition found originating and usually found on Deer Isle, Maine. It is believed to be the result of in-breeding over
generations of the Haskell and Hardy families when the island of Deer Isle was
isolated from the mainland. There are other instances of genetic disorders occuring where similar circumstances have existed in past times. The disease results in severe deformity of the ankles and feet.

"Johnny" as slang for a hospital gown, that is. He said yes, he had, and he was pretty sure it's British slang. I told him what I'd found, which was that it can also be slang for a condom, and he too wondered just exactly what was REALLY going on in that hospital bed.... :)
