Resource help!
Subject: Resource help!

Hi everyone!  I am working on a report and am uncertain of two words, hoping someone here could point me in the right direction! 


Dr. states "Carcinoma of the right colon and underwent a right hemicolectomy.  Final pathology report showed infiltrating adenocarcinoma moderately differntiating _____ _____ to the chronic wall to the mesocolonic adipose tissue, multiple positive lymp nodes."


Thoughts?

Subject: It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that

If a reliable resource had been used, it could have defrazzled the MT looking for a quick fix answer. There is that saying about teaching someone to fish versus just giving him a fish that really applies to being an MT. This MT wanted someone else to think for him/her. So okay, everyone has bad days, but a good MT practices sound research regardless of the day. The poster you referred to as rude was polite enough to point the OP to a site where the entire medication database can be downloaded onto his/her PC and can perform searches in a variety of ways for FREE, and get free updates to drugs as they come out. That doesn't sound as though the responding poster was being entirely rude.

Your comments about hoping the offending responder being given an incorrect answer on purpose was actually much more rude than the one trying to teach the OP to fish.
Stedman's is a good resource sm
Subject: Stedman's is a good resource sm

But it is not the final authority on medical terminology. The medical field is growing and changing all the time. New procedures are developed every day and old ones fade away. Doctors in one part of the country may use a different terminology than doctors in other parts of the country.


Transcriptionists need to learn to be flexible and use their common sense as well as reference materials. Even if Stedman's says it should be "whatever", if the doctor says it a different way, that may be how he/she wants it to be spelled in the report. As long as it is not something totally off the wall that cannot be found anywhere the way the doctor says it, then I think the transcriptionist should respect the doctor's wishes unless told otherwise.


If it is something totally off the wall, I would leave a blank and leave a note for the doctor.
