on Saturday with my question regarding the correct spellling of Permacath or PermCath, or Perma-Cath.  I have been typing PermCath all the time until this doc specifically says Perma Cath, with the A.  I do have resource books.  I have the Surgical Word Book by Tessier.  On page 1614, Third Edition, it has Perma-Cath catheter and the Perma-Cath drain and on the next page it has PermCath dual-lumen catheter.  This was main reason for asking the question and you can see why I was confused since it is spelled both ways; with and without the A.


Thanks again.

To figure out if it should be follow up or followup (never follow-up as far as I know)

Replace followup with eat. If it makes sense it should be follow up.

Example "The patient will follow up with me in three weeks"

The patient will eat with me in three weeks"

It makes sense so follow up would be used.

But if you had

"The patient returns for a six month follow up"

and you replace it

"The patient returns for a six month eat"

That doesn't make sense, so you would use followup.

Hope this helps, it was an eye opener for me, as I was the queen of followup issues!!!

Wow none of these ppl helped u at all
Subject: Wow none of these ppl helped u at all

did they lol.

I was hoping someone here could clear it up for me as well but oh well.

It totally confuses me too, and after reading and re-reading in a moment of perfect clarity I got it, and then when I try to apply it to the sentence in question its gone again. But cheer up, maybe QA doesn't know either LOL.

whatever he is saying it definitely ends with "enia" and I just cannot figure out what it is.  Will just have to print with a blank.

I don't get it. Why parentheses around "negative rod" ? and what is the -502.92 m kg ? meters per kilogram? mg per kg? 10 to the 5th would be 100,000, I believe...
no wonder my screen name is "mushroom" !
this is crazy!
Subject: this is crazy!

There were three other places in the dictation that I could not understand what he was saying.

After I deciphered the 'alert and oriented' (with your gracious help), I went back to the other three. Bingo. It was like a mumble-jumble-decipher puzzle piece placed itself in my head, and I figured out the other three.

I love puzzles.

Thanks again!
Crazy, ain't it?
Subject: Crazy, ain't it?

The actual pronunciation of that word IS "day-breed-MON". I about died when I first heard that. I guess it's French. It sounds so hoity-toity to me. LOL

If this is in the middle of a procedure, for instance, sentences before and after would have oriented people to what was expected.

If the patient's fever does not DEPRAVEST on antibiotics, then further assessment such as CT scan of the sinuses and thorax may be needed. 


I cannot find a word that fits, but it sounds clear as DEP-RA-VEST.  Any ideas?
