This piqued my interest and I googled "beetle nuts" with mouth cancer.  Turns out there really is a connection.  Apparently it's a leading cause of mouth cancer in Taiwan, where I guess they chew on a lot of beetle nuts.  Hmm, you learn something new every day!

it wasn't in Dorland's dictionary either -- crazy! i guess we can just combine the combining forms and/or do by common usage -- but i've used it for umpteen years.

Another interesting term is distention. (sm)
Subject: Another interesting term is distention. (sm)

There are 2 spellings for distention, but the medical references say spell it as above, not the alternate spelling - distension. I see that a lot of MTs have not noticed that one, either.

Using propofol (DIPRIVAN) to sedate patients during endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures is gaining momentum in a growing number of hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and physician offices.(1) In trained hands, propofol offers many advantages over other drugs used for sedation because it:

* Has a rapid onset (about 40 seconds) and a short duration of action;
* Allows patients to wake up, recover, and return to baseline activities and diet sooner than some other sedation agents;
* Reduces the need for opioids, thus resulting in less nausea and vomiting.

This is a list of "slang medicalese".  There is a comment under "bovied" which applies here and to similar words.  Choose "select" for some other unusual lists.

Subject: Interesting words, dystocia and eutocia. sm

Dystocia is defined as abnormal or difficult labor. The opposite of dystocia is eutocia, which is normal labor. Dystocia is often an indication for operative delivery, with its associated complications.

The doctor's really could care less what is written BOS.  They are interested in quality work.  It is funny how some companies and transcriptionists breath/live it.  I am sure there are some doctors out there who are counting every key stroke but most just want to practice medicine.  btw....still spacing twice after periods also.....so much for the BOS.....it just doesn't have a whole lot of power these days.

I *almost* changed it to pants, and now I'm thinking I should have, but I went ahead and put "pantalones" as she dictated it.  She definitely meant pants, not a type of hernia, as pt is a child having problems with soiling in his pants.  Many patients for this account speak Spanish, so maybe the pt or his parents used the word "pantalones" (which is pronouned like "panta-lone-ess" in Spanish).

it really saddens (and scares me) when I get blasted for using BOS as a reference. BOS is not perfect, but it's what we have as our chief reference, and it is answering many of the questions posed here.

ER, I have always found chemo drugs pretty difficult and changing all the time. Chuck, I learn something every day on this board, that is why I come here so thanks for the correction.

That's exactly what it is.  This doc is from Croatia, so sometimes his pronounciation completely throws me.  I only have two guys with accents - Croatia and Turkey, so all in all I'm really, really fortunate.  Tonight, my brain had just shut down.


Thank you so much!!!

Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM

after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods.  Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).


Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.


Probably too late, I'm sure.  Better late than never, I guess.
