Help with past surgery term - ktm910


Posted: Jan 27, 2015

Need help. Typing a past surgery history and sounds like dictator says "hoyt mastectomy, cardiac stent x2, hoyt cataract surgery." My research has turned up nothing on a "hoyt" version of these surgies, so thought it was slang for either "singular" or "both", but still unsure of the word. Any ideas? 

Surgery term...sm - PT

[ In Reply To ..]
Just a thought...that could possibly be the name of the surgeon or even the surgery center where surgery was performed??

Got it...."OD" - ktm910

[ In Reply To ..]
I figured out the term. Dictator was sounding out "O.D." for "right mastectomy...right cataract surgery."

Funny how something can sound...lol nm - PT

OD - mtme

[ In Reply To ..]
OD stands for oculus dexter which translates to "right eye." So that would make sense for the cataract surgery, but not the mastectomy.

That's right mtme...sm - PT

That would explain the cataract surgery but not the mastectomy.

From What I Seen When Looking Up Past Docs In DQM
May 14, 2011

People are not doing a full listen/correction. There are some pretty blatant errors, and these errors are being repeated by subsequently dictating physicians who are obviously using other documents for information (as it should be). Blatant errors such as allergy to medications that don't even exit, blatant lab errors that are counter to some of the diagnoses. I shamefully admit to not doing a full listen when I first started voice recognition was back in the beginning, but quickly noted ...


Blast From The Past. Sm

I was purging papers and came across an earnings statement from TL in 2001 (yeah, I know, way overdue on cleaning out files). Back then, my base pay was 0.0925 and the 2-week pay after taxes, insurance, 401K was $1100. In comparison, today my base pay pretty much is 0.035 for VR and 0.07 for straight. It is possible to make a higher rate at Nuance, but it is not easy, so I do not expect it. My last take-home pay prior to the holidays was less than $600. Also, my TL line count was 3000 higher for ...
