R THA could be right total hip arthroplasty.

Ileus is an intestinal obstruction that could be a complication after a joint replacement, as my doc had one patient develop that. But would like to know the whole sentence as there could be cellulitis over the area of the ilium which is a bone in the hip. It is hard to tell with just those three words. Hope this helps.

Should we put a hyphen in preop and/or postop? My spellchecker says it is OK without, but it is hard to read w/o one IMO. BOS says to use a hyphen when joining a prefix to an abbreviation, so would this count as an abbreviation in this case? Or is it more like a shortened form of the word? ...

Okay ladies...I have only been reading this forum for a few months now. I am about to stay as far from here as some of the MTSOs out there. For the most part, this forum is not the supportive place I had hoped it would be. This forum is mostly depressing. We don't build each other up here - we tear each other down, as if that is not done enough in the work place. This place has got to be one of the worst for being so incredibly petty, stabby, over sensitive, ca ...

It appears that nobody is happy about this new payment system, including myself. The question is what do we do about. Everybody quitting and finding another job is not going to solve the problem. If MTs accept and take this type of pay system, it then sets the stage for other companies to start paying the same. Is this even legal? Are they allowed to pay us on performance? How do remote MTs form together to make a difference if they really want to?? ...

This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities. "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme. The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.' Check an ACE." The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence. In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time." I'm not sure if either makes sense. She does mention ...
