The doctor says:  He remains on  s/l dimanos and cranberry, has had no urinary tract infection is 6 months although he still sees bladder shells.

UTI prophylaxis
Subject: UTI prophylaxis

Thank you, pdq, but I don't think that's what he's saying.  This patient has C6 tetraplegia and uses the Mentor 450 Self-Cath.  I wondered if it was a medical device of some sort, but he lists this dimanos as a medication too.  I'm beginning to think he's using some sort of slang, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.  Looks like he may get 2 blanks for the same term.
H2 prophylaxis?
Subject: H2 prophylaxis?

Dictator states they are adding pneumatic boots as well as "H2 prophylaxis"?  Does this sound right?  I'm sure on the prophylaxis part but not on the H2.  I have a slurer.    Thanks so much!  Hope you're all having a great day!

Well said. I have always enjoyed helping people find answers and I have received a lot of good help
The most important thing is to learn how to do research and how to frame a question so that you can get a useful answer. If you learn how to get the answer and know it is correct, then you are on the way to doing a good job as an MT.
