Black sponge used in I&D - Teardrop
Posted: Jul 23, 2011
Anyone ever typed a black sponge in surgery? I listened for "lap" and "lac" but I really hear "black." Context: "We took another rim of skin about a centimeter wider inferiorly until it bled well, as well. This was controlled with electrocautery. The area was then pulse-irrigated. A medium size black sponge was placed over top of this. The more tangential excision was covered with a wound VAC, sponge that had been tangentially shaven in half, and the entire area activated after bioocclusive dressing was placed."
VAC sponge - Yes...
[ In Reply To ..]I've heard this before. If you'll do a search on "VAC black sponge," you can document this.
black sponge - Teardrop
[ In Reply To ..]Yeah! It was clear enough that I left it black sponge. Thanks for helping me document it. Funny it didn't Google up with just "black sponge" as the search term, but I've got it now, thanks to you.
Smiles!

You Know Those Little Black Sponge Pads That Go Over The Round Type Headsets??.....
Sep 13, 2011
Does anyone know where to get GOOD quality ones? I've been suckered TWICE by buying them online---they are these little thin things that break every single time before I can get them over the ear piece. The only ones I've found so far that are good are the ones that come with the headset, but I don't want to buy a new headset every time I just need new pads. I'd be so appreciative for advice on where to get good quality ones. TIA!!! ...

Paid For Spaces Versus Black Character Only
Apr 05, 2010
Just as an experiment...With Saince I typed about 12-13 reports, typed one that was 18 minutes long in the midst of the others. It equaled a little over 400 lines (it was under 420). Now, with a job that pays for spaces, I typed one report 12 min long - 126 lines. Typing 10 reports, I hit 424 lines. The Saince reports were standard type, most 1-1/2 to 2 pages long...ONLY 400 lines??? Most of the ones I just did this morning for another company were mostly 1 page long, VR, dis ...
Question Regarding IT And Cerner/RDE Radiology (black Screen)

There are probably only a few people who have used this system. Hopefully, they come onto this board and have used IT with Cerner/RDE (black screen). When I maximize my RDE screen (black), the font is perfect. However, when I attach my word expander (Instant Text) to it, the screen minimizes and the font goes from perfect to just barely visible. Anyone out there using Cerner RDE and IT together who can help me? Thank you, comrades :) ...
