quick, fill-in-the-blank forms used by

Posted By: see message on 2006-12-24
In Reply to: Does anybody know what a T sheet is? - OH MT

Subject: quick, fill-in-the-blank forms used by

ER doctors that serve as documentation of a visit. Dictation is not mandatory and billing can be scored off the information written on the sheet. Don't know the formal name as I only heard it referred to by that name at one Trauma Level I hospital.

What are the combining forms?
Subject: What are the combining forms?

I can't find anything even when I separate it out like the OP said.  I would like to learn what this word means if somebody could help me out.  Should it be xanth with an h instead of just xant? Even trying that, I am still stuck.
correct forms
Subject: correct forms

Staph aureus (notice Staph is capitalized; a period is not necessary)

postop (no period)

When you have a 2-word bacteria name, the first word is capitalized generally. The second word is generally not capitalized.

A Stedman's manual for Infectious Disease words is quite useful for these words.

Klebsiella
Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Escherichia coli

I could go on... But I won't because I'm tired and the Canadian is helping me feel no pain... ;)

Cheers!

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms

That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
Subject: Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's

AAMT says to drop the possessive form with eponymic terms such as Down syndrome, Tinel sign, Lachman sign, etc.  However, when used without "test" or "sign," do you add an 's.  i.e. "He has a negative Tinel's," or should it be "He has a negative Tinel."  Another one is Speed sign. It sounds wierd to put "He has a negative Speed."  Thanks so much!!

In reading the rest of this note, I have a feeling it is not *hallucis*, but since the rest of the note indicates hallux and foot care, I have a feeling he is saying halluxes, if that is even a word, as in plural hallux. It is a podiatry word, for sure. at least in my opinion. There are many hallux procedures, one of which is Youngwich procedure.
