Got it! Immediate help needed for STAT report - Rainbo


Posted: Apr 27, 2011

Doctor left out an L.  Gill's laminectomy

http://www.ispub.com/ostia/index.php?xmlFilePath=journals/ijss/vol2n2/lumbar.xml

 

Upon further review, it sounds like he is saying "consistent with a GILS or JILS procedure" (and then he spells it Gils or Jils).  GILS or JILS procedure.  Can someone confirm if this is correct?

 

This physician has a very thick Spanish accent and is so very hard to understand.  He spells out G O G L I S (or X) procedure.  Any idea on what the procedure might be?  This report is for a surgery first thing in the a.m. and has to be turned in my 3 a.m.  Thanks!!

DISPOSITION:  Recommend a lumbar laminectomy, foraminotomy, facetectomy at L5-S1 consistent with a GOGILS procedure, also decompressive laminectomy, diskectomy at L4-L5 with intervertebral body cage.

Gill's laminectomy - see reference

Word Help On STAT PICU Report
Feb 04, 2010

Have never done peds really and definitely not PICU so I am stumped here. A 5-day-old girl with hypoplastic heart syndrome, just had a stage I Norwood procedure (whatever that is) with shunt placement.  "Her creatinine was 0.82 and preoperatively was 0.67 so not much of a change there. Her s/l "flank nares" have remained in the 60s."   ...


H&P Neurology Report, Lots Of Help Needed
Aug 06, 2010

I have been on this report for 2 days now. I have managed to figure most of it out but I am really lost on one paragraph. After she dictates all the information under Physical Examination she goes into another paragraph describing more of the patient's symptoms. Is there supposed to be heading before that paragraph? Also, below is a few sentences from that paragraph that I just cant make out. Any help would be great. Thanks again. Tone is normal no clog whealing. Degenerative reflexes ar ...


PET Scan Imaging Report Terminology Help Needed!
Jul 17, 2010

I am going to paste the paragraph two words are located in that I'm having trouble with.  I am hoping that someone who is familiar with radiology terminology can help me out on this.  It sounds to me like the physician is saying:  subcurrent and precurrent.  I've gone to every source I can think of, but no luck in confirming that this makes any sense. Here's the paragraph: IMAGING EVALUATION:  PET CT scan done [___] reveals hypermetabolic adenopathy in ...

Non-stat Reports Labeled As Stat
Sep 01, 2014

I know this shouldn't bother me, but I have this doctor (and he has a PA-C under him that does it too) that STAT every file.  He's an urgent care doc, so I get that he thinks because the place he works is called "Urgent Care" that everything he does must, therefore, be "urgent."  But it's simply not true.  Your "urgent" sinus infection which you felt you needed to STAT got pushed in front of several files that your colleagues who actually sent patients to the ER by ...

Stat Intubation
Dec 06, 2009

Normally, with a brain injury patient, I would be extremely careful about pre-medicating the patient with lidocaine and fentanyl and waiting several minutes for this to s/l quit-al-bate and do a careful rapid-sequence intubation with etomidate and a long-acting paralytic agent.  My clinical impression in this unfortunate patient is she is in trouble and needs a stat intubation. ...


How Can There Be So Many Stat Reports??
Feb 25, 2010

Any idea why all of my reports are stats?  Its weird.  Most of my shift is stat reports.  When the stats run out, most of the time I get NJA. How is that possible?  They are ASR too.  I used to get probably 50/50 before the merge.  But now that I started getting all of these stats, I'm probably 90/10.    ...

So What Is Up With The Stat-nts IM Address We Have?
May 29, 2013

Anyone ever notice that everytime the NTS-Stat address comes into your IM list that work gets screwy?  I mean, why have this address at all since we never use this person or address for anything?  Seems fishy to me that if you delete it, "it" knows to reappear on your IM list in, like, 20 seconds automatically.  I know, several of you will revert to calling me paranoid.  Please don't waste your breath. I'm just trying to figure out why and how the "monkey-business ...


DIctators Who STAT Everything
May 05, 2014

Anyone else get driven nuts by dictators who STAT everything?  There a group of about 3 doctors who work in the urgent care for the clinic I primarily type on and they STAT the great majority of their reports.  What's weird is that they don't make them all STAT, just the majority of them. At first I thought, "maybe they've just been trained wrong and were told that urgent notes need to be coded this way," or maybe when they call in to do their reports, the prompts they ...

Charging For STAT Dictation
Aug 15, 2010

I have an ortho doctor that I transcribe for, his office calls or emails me for STAT transcription constantly.  I work for 2 family practice docs, 2 PAs and another ortho as well so I'm pretty busy.  I often stop what I am working on to do this doctor's all-important work.  My question is what is the standard for charging for STAT dictation?  I wouldn't mind except, as I said, this happens every day.  He cost me over $40 on Thursday because I was ...


IC Status And Stat Reports

Would appreciate opinions on this.  Working as an IC and received an email regarding stat reports.  If you are "scheduled" to be working and the hospital needs a stat you will be getting a call to transcribe the report.  I am truly sick and tired of MT services taking advantage of IC status and then expecting an employee committment.  Is it me, or is this situation getting worse?  Recently I was looking to add hours as an IC and could not believe how many  ...
