feel stupid asking this but seated or seeded? Arthroscopic knee surgery
Subject: feel stupid asking this but seated or seeded? Arthroscopic knee surgery

There was a larger grade 3 lesion on the inferior portion of the patella as it seated or seeded? in the trochlear groove at about 45 degrees of flexion. I am thinking seated because it is sitting in the groove? Would this be correct or am I totally wrong here.

It's hard to judge these things without hearing them - I went with what was closest to the sentence provided. While the patient could have been "dyspneic-looking like a patient with COPD or sleep apnea," that just didn't sit right with my gut.

Another one... :::sigh::: See message, please!
Subject: Another one... :::sigh::: See message, please!

 


I am doing an op report: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative cholangiograms.  The doctor clearly says diagnosIS, although I know they do that all the time and then give numbered lists, so I know not to count on that. For the diagnosis, she says "Chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis."  She runs them together just like that, no pause in between or anything.


Do these go together the way I have them now, as one diagnosis just separated with a comma?  Should I have them separated and numbered instead?


I have no samples to go on and I've never done one of these before. What do you seasoned surgery pros think?


Another question. SM
Subject: Another question. SM

This also pertains to the other question I asked.  This doctor is driving me CRAZY.  The audio quality is horriblel - sounds like he is using a can and a string rather than a PHONE.  AARRGGHH.  <deep breath>


Entire sentence: 


"There is a suggestion of a horseshoe configuration of the kidneys with s/l TALLULAH-FORM shaped tissue extending anterior to the s/l AR-AY-LA."

He merely acknowledges a 30 percent reduction in his original pre-operative pain, yet has now developed new s/l “poe-sigh” pain specific to the medial retinaculum and region of the infrapatellar tendon.


Thanks!!!

not stupid
Subject: not stupid

Don't worry about it, have had many days like that, and I have been doing this 30+ years.   Yesterday I could not get anything right.  Happens to us all, and it does make sense later.  I have looked at a lot of these word-help emails, and there are several that I had no clue on but always good to learn new things even at my old age.

Subject: 2nd day and feeling very stupid

I'm sorry ahead of time. Yesterday was awful and today only seems worse :( This is probably so obvious but because I am getting anxious, I can not hear anything now! The doctor says "... coughing, which initially was thought to be nonproductive but now (s/l livid) some productive sputum." Any help would be so greatly appreciated, and please don't laugh too hard! I may hear and get my feelings hurt. LOL
