Subject: I don't think there is a "post" there, but

I think the doc is actually saying "placenta previa" and the beginning of that term sounds like post maybe.  If it is a complete placenta previa, the patient would only be post that after delivery.

I was not being the 'testing police'
Subject: I was not being the 'testing police'

I was just making an observation. Gosh. Anyway, the Administrator admonishes using this site for testing purposes (sticky note at top of page). I have no problem helping people out, but I was just making a general statment that it isn't necessary for people to post three or four posts in a row for the same question without giving anyone the time to answer them. Patience is a virtue. As far as testing goes, I really don't care one way or the other, but others do and make that point well know. It is so hard to post on this site sometimes because anything you say is taken way overboard. I was only making a simple observation.
Not the word police
Subject: Not the word police

Your first example was wrong and the other posters were completely within bounds to point that out before any of these newbies you are attempting to so earnestly assist make a note of something that would get them dinged on the job. Besides, any quasi-decent MT course teaches this early on in their curriculum.

I will see him in follow up, or, I will see him in followup.  I think it is followup, followup being a noun and follow up being a verb.  What do you think?  I'm editing and want to make sure I'm right.

Hi all! I am doing an OP for a lumbar spine surgeon, but this is just for an I&D. He says the area was probed with "sucker tips" and was found to be subfascial. I am not too comfortable with what I am finding online for this. Has anyone heard this before? Thanks!

could she be saying communication, as in an opening has formed between 2 sinuses or something?

It is so frustrating to be given only a tidbit of a report instead of being able to puzzle it out from what is going on with the patient.
Thanks, but as I'm into the report it
Subject: Thanks, but as I'm into the report it

sounds like this is some weird wording for microscopic blood.

I've done thousands of endoscopy reports and GI consults, but I can't think why he'd say "affobiddy positive stool" instead of something about occult blood or microscopic blood.

MRI of the brain shows what looks to be an acute infarct on DWI on the right brainstem area, which were also changes seen on the T2 weighted - s/l anuses - suggesting that this is probably an infarct, which occurred 7-10 days ago.
