This is what he said, but I wonder if "superficial" is correct here. Thanks

just means the dissection was carried down almost to, but not into, the platysmal fibers.

Thank you - sammypot

Thanks so much. Usually I can "get" this heavy-accent doctor, but this one threw me. Much appreciated.

Well, just as I landed my "dream" job with a very small MTSO and began making good money (albeit with no insurance benefits), lo and behold if I didn't get a call for a local "headhunter" today to open negotiations with a local group of specialty physicians who are apparently bringing their transcription back in house and want someone ready to hit the ground running.  Full-time, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., hourly pay, paid vacation, paid sick leave, a one-MT-show so priv ...

Does Achromatic Fit For Describing Extern Oblique Fascial Fibers?
Mar 15, 2011

I tried to look up this word used in this way but didn't find much to support.  It sounds right! The skin was incised with a scalpel, and the subcutaneous tissues were dissected with electrocautery down to the external oblique fascial fibers which were somewhat achromatic. Could have a "p" in it.  Apromatic (but not a word).  Definitely ends in -matic. Thank you. ...


Ischiococcygeal Area Or Ishial And Coccyx Area?
Dec 21, 2014

QA picked this up.  I had ischiococcygeal area which I could find listed as one word on google, but I could not find it listed by search criteria which I separated the 2 words.  I can find ischial and coccyx, but not together as the dictator is stating.  The only thing that makes me wonder iif QA is right is the context before the words.  He stated he has 2 ulcers at the ischiococcygeal area.  It seems like in this case it would be ischial and coccyx, but I cannot docume ...
