Trying to figure out how to type this ---- ortho surgery with Synthes LCP plate.  Says "number two five" Mersilene tape..... Would that be #25?  That doesn't seem right to me and I saw that another MT typed it as "two #5" Mersilene tape.  Not sure if dictator said it wrong in my report-- appreciate any input.

My question is he is just saying 45 hole, not saying 4.5 hole so do I assume he means 4.5?  I get so confused by this.  This is the sentence leading up to my question. 


A 4.5-mm syndesmotic screw was now inserted using standard AO technique.  I placed the screw in lag mode.  A 4.5-mm drill bit used on the fibula.  A guide was placed in the 45 or 4.5?? hole.

Hi,

I think you're right about cervix (vs. service)--apparently he's just pronouncing it a little slurry and it just makes more "sense".

I've listened and listened, but I'm certain that Babcock is not it even if he's saying it badly. I hear nothing at all prior to "koch".
