s/l coomie device, cumie device, not sure
Subject: s/l coomie device, cumie device, not sure

The abdomen was shaved, prepped and draped sterilely. Foley catheter was inserted, along with a s/l coomie device that was removed after her procedure. The bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after I established the pneumoperitoneum and placed trocars for her and evaluated the sigmoid pathology assuring that the salpingo-oophorectomies could be performed satisfactorily without compromising the colon procedure.

I love it when we can "out wit" them. Of course a lot of these guys, not only ESLs, make up the stuff. The first thing they taught  was about the prefixes etc in the old transcription classes. I had been typing for about 2 years when they offered the class at a junior college where my husband was attending, he got me the book, which I still have, and I almost keeled over at all the different combos etc.
