"- A vessel loop or Potts tie (00 silk tie looped twice) is placed around the superior ... A vessel loop is placed around the external carotid artery."
Vessel loops were placed in a s/l pots fashion. I can't verify what exactly this means as the only thing that will come up for me medically is POTS syndrome. Wondering if someone can help let me know how this is supposed to be i.e. pots/POTS/potz and what the surgeon is referring to. ...

On cystoscopy, it sounds clearly like:
...rigid cystoscope was advanced per urethra into the bladder, and the bladder was investigated in the usual *s/l meridian* fashion.
I don't remember having this before. Have I just lost my mind? I've done thousands of cystoscopy notes. ...
Could use some help with this one. This is for a cysto with ureteroscopy and stone basketing.
"The groin was prepped and draped in ___ sterile fashion." It sounds like urgent, but that doesn't make sense. Doesn't sound like 'usual' or 'normal'.
Any ideas?
Thanks. ...
Curious to know if anyone has heard of this? It's clearly what he is saying but when I tried to look it up just for reference I couldn't find anything. It's for an osteotomy.
The periosteum overlying the first metatarsal head was incised in an embroidered L-fashion.
Thanks! ...
Is there a way to import or convert my Bayscribe word expander file (thousands of entries) into 2010 MS Word's autocorrect and/or dictionary? Thank you. ...
I have Microsoft Word 2003. Is it possible to upgrade it online to Word 2003? A company I worked for for a short time did it. If it's possible, can someone give me the link? I looked on Microsoft.com but don't see it. ...
Is there a way in AutoCorrect (Word 2010) to change a comma to a period and then cap the next word to make VR go a little faster? The platform at my old company did this automatically, but MS Word does not : (
This is so frustrating having to change from a comma to a period (or vice versa)--which as you all know happens constantly...and then change the next word to be capitalized (or uncapped)....my wrists are killing me, not to mention it takes so much TIME.....
There HAS to be a better ...
Is it possible to do this in MS Word 2010? I'm using AutoCorrect and there isn't a way to do it that I know of. What do all of you doing VR do for the CONSTANT having to change a comma to a period and cap the next word easily? Any suggestions would be SOOOOO very appreciated. ...
I will be changing from Word 2000 to Word 2003 and have a few questions. I am not that great at figuring tech stuff out so hopefully someone will be able to help me. Will changing from 2000 to 2003 affect anything on my computer at all, i.e., will all my other software work okay. I rely on my PC Shorthand expander and my electronic Stedman's books, plus how about my Stedman's medical spellchecker, will they all work the same or do I need to do anything to make sure th ...

Can anyone who works with Fox Transcribe tell me if you can copy and paste from word to word pad? Since word pad does not have spell check OR auto correct, I wondered about that.
Thank you! ...
I have just started working in Dictaphone Word Client. I have Word 2003. When I open the Word Client it takes my own Word "hostage" and I cannot use it for other things.
Is there a way to separate the two, so that I can still use my Word when I need to while still working in Word Client? ...
The MTSO that has hired me needs me to have Office 2010 Professional, whereas I have Office 2013 Professional. They said the only reason 2013 won't work is because of the Word version. I remember sometime back that there was a way to set your Word version to a previous version with the push of a button. I've searched the internet for clues, but all I see are instructions for converting 2007 to 2003. Nothing about converting 2013 to 2010. If I can't ge ...
This may be one of those, "well, everybody knows that," or not?
In my system:
When in Word 2010 if you right click on a word a drop down pops up and you can click on "look up" and it goes to the internet and looks up these words and gives info in a box on the right. Very helpful. ...
Hi,
Its being said the patient wants to take Lamisil in a pulsed dose situation. I was wondering if a hyphen is needed or not between 'pulsed' and 'dose'; or is it just 'a pulse dose' fashion?? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance! ...
I am doing a diction of and Gasto Operative report on a patient who is having a End colostmy and Hartmann pouch resection!
The doctor keeps dictating the work "parin"
Example: Take down colostomy with segmental sigmoid resection and low pelvic EA stabled rectosigmoid anastomosis parin 31 mm end parin.
I have referenced this in many ways and still come up with nothing... Does anyone have a clue what this is or what it means
Thank you ...
Just have to vent. I have been filling out applications for days. I know MTSOs can set any requirements they want, but you would think that if there is a very specific requirement that instantly disqualifies some Medical Transcriptionists, that would be right up there at the top, BEFORE they ask you to sign in and answer a bunch of questions (including providing reference names and attaching a resume).
I did all that, and THEN, I got the following message:
"Thank you for your ...
Looking for recent information on this company. Couldn't find anything recent in the archives and really not sure if the comments I did find were for this company or not since there are other companies with the same name. Any input is appreciated. Thanks! ...
Have a new computer with windows 7. Haven't set it up yet. Can I install word 2003 and also whatever the latest word is (2007?). Should one be installed before the other? My computer tech retired and haven't found a new one yet. Thanks for any info. ...
Can anyone recommend a word expander program that they have used. I have been doing transcription work for a local doctor for a few years and finally have decided to purchase this as I use word expander in other work I do for a transcription company. I do not want to spend a lot but want to be sure when I purchase something that is it the best out there. Thanks! ...
