what you typed in your post is above this line - with 4 typos in 8 words - you are only 50% in quality...IF THAT.


And Carol was nice enough to type the answer to you.....not realizing you're probably testing over offshore somewhere.  This is not allowed on this board - we do not supply answers to testers. 


not the spelling police here - just annoyed that they come in here and use us for the answers.........and this one appears to be an offshore MT just by what all she/he misspelled.......some of the most basic words.

Please be aware that "rhodilla" and "ghie" are offshore posters.  I have banned their addresses (IP and e-mail).  Always watch for "clues" and "signs" -- multiple posts at a single time, etc.  Report suspicious posts.


I will try to keep watching for suspicious posts.

Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.

I think this must be it. The patient is a 72 yo in the ER with diarrhea so I have no clues as to her past medical history. Ugggh, hate it when docs spell also.
Thanks to both of you.

No search results for: "levoryl"


Did you mean: levoxyl ?


I guess I'll just leave Levoxyl alone. 


Thanks :)

PENT ICCP

could it be anti-CCP?

P(ENT I)CCP

But that would still leave the P to be determined. I also would like to know if he spelled PENT or if he said it.

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:

get formolent = ___ for a minute

OR

get formolent = get 4 ____

as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"

I wish I could be more help...
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...

Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy.  It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy. 
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...

The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive.  I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.

Actually after listening to that one at least 50 times, I could get nothing else from it.  A Cobb can be a retractor or elevator.  In this case, it was used to scrape vertebrae...I did find micro-Cobb.  But it really didn't sound a bit like that.  Macoa or Mikoa perhaps, but I tried every spelling I could think of.  Oh well...it's a mystery, and the report went to proofing, but it left me curious.  Thanks!

Not sure, Harsh attitude meant for me?? I don't see any anon posts either?? All seem to have a name/initial. The written word gets lost in translation, can't possibly know what is really meant, no inflection heard.  Glad you asked though.  Perhaps it is how you are reading the posts, ya think?   My post was meant just like I said, if somebody wants it in a certain way that is the way you do it. You don't argue and trying to "be right" If you go searching to get an okay to do it another way, thid will only create problems for you.  You need to think on it.
