Doctor stated the patient felt chilled and received a "bear paw" as well. Has anyone ever heard of bear paw?

Patients

Keeping You Comfortable and Warm Before and After Surgery
The 3Mâ�¢ Bair Pawsâ�¢ system was designed to offer you comfort and clinical benefits during your surgical experience. The Bair Paws gown is used in place of a traditional cotton gown. It is easy for patients to put on and provides complete coverage to protect patient modesty.

The Bair Paws gownâ��s special features allow temperature-controlled air to flow through the gown keeping you warm and comfortable before, during and after surgery. Using the systemâ��s hand-held controller, you can adjust the temperature of the air flowing through the gown to a level that personally suits you.

At my facility, they call it the Bair Hugger. When I had a minor surgery about 4 years ago, I experienced it firsthand. Comfy, cozy!

Can I get one of those for Xmas? - TTypes

that sounds simply cozy!! lol To the original poster, fyi, I made an AutoCorrect entry so that when I typed bear paw, it would transpose it to Bair Paws, just in case I'm having a brain cloud one day.

using platforms that use other expander programs. I used to work for a company that had the expander as part of the program. I have never used Shorthand, Instant Text, etc. I have never had to use Word either. Now I am going to be switching to BeyondTx. Does this have an expander included, or do I have to incorporate an expander into it, or what? :). Obviously, this is not too hard to do, as many of you seem very familiar with all of it. I just fee ...

I just have to vent - bear with me. We make 100,000 corrections on this ASR and I get in trouble for the one mistake I made. I understand I made a mistake and I own up to it, but it irritates the crap out of me when doctors dictate mistakes. And stupid ones at that! I mean what about the one I fixed for the doctor (maybe I shouldn't have) who dictated that an elderly patient use a Cepacol SUPPOSITORY for their sore throat? I can't speak for anybody else, but there's ...

If the client profile makes no mention of patient name (yes or no) being left in the report, account does not specify verbatim, is the ADHI/JCAHO directive to type the patient's name or replace with "the patient?" Just checkin'. Am paranoid about everything with the audits these days. ...

I swear to all that is holy, this is what this less-than-stellar PA just dictated: "The patient IS a high-risk gestational trophoblastic disease..."

That sound you hear is me hitting my head on the desk. ...

Just FYI....I applied to PF about 3-4 months ago. Took the transcription test, thought I did great, never heard a word.

She told me that they are currently looking for lots of MTs due to opening several new facilities. Just thought I would pass this along to anyone who is interested in jumping on and taking ...

Under the diagnosis, the doc says: 1. Hypokalemia likely due to medication use. Rule out primary s/l hyperolestrionism. Yeah, I know that's wrong. Any electrolyte experts out there? This is total mumbling. I'm really not sure it even begins with "hyper"--could be "hypo" as well. ...
