optic or haptic?

In a cataract extraction, would a haptic or an optic be captured in the ciliary sulcus? He later says that the optic was captured in the capsular bag with the haptics being latched securely in the sulcus.

I don't exactly know what you are asking.  If the question is regarding what he meant and you have any question, flag it and send it to your Q.A. or whereever you send reports with blanks.  Not a good idea to try to "correct" the doc's dictation and an even worse idea to guess.

Doctor dictates "The patient did have a urethral stricture lasered in the office."


I don't think lasered is an appropriate word, is it acceptable to change the sentence to this?

Or should I just use lasered as he dictated?  Thanks.  :)

Subject: still thinking

Turns out that the patient is having very high fevers giving impression of left lower lobe pneumonia. Came across a brand name of a drug used in mouthwash called Advexin. They were talking about oral cancers...but then cross-referenced on http://www.pharma-lexicon.com/ and found (generic Mepron) atovaquone, classified as an anti-infective used in both adults and children who are at risk for PCP with initial doses of 750 mg per 5 mL. Since Hodgkin's lymphoma and bone marrow transplant would put this girl in a severely immunocompromised state, I would bet they are giving her a pretty hefty dose of the stuff. Atovaquone it is.

Thanks for helping me.
