Laminotomy Op Report - Lots of questions - mary triplet mommy


Posted: Dec 13, 2010

1. Under procedure, doctor dictates BMP collagen was used.  It is ok to abbreviate BMP or does it need to be expanded?

2. She was transferred to the prone position ______ (s/l an aquired) frame?

3. We carefully exposed the subcutaneous tissue and we _______ (s/l sub crossed) the dissection off the level _______ (s/l synchreala) and the transfer processes of the L5, we exposed the spine.

I know this is probably a mess. =(  I am new at transcribing and really new at Op reports.  Any help would be great.  I am only about 1/4th the way through this transcribe, so I am sure I will have more questions.  Thanks in advance.

Some answers. - sm

1. BMP: Where I work we DO NOT use abbreviations after headings of Diagnosis (etc.) or Procedures Performed.

2. Can you possibly hear "Wilson" frame. That is used a lot in back surgeries.

3. I have no idea.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Lots Of Time Spent On ADT

I spend enormous amounts of time doing clervical work for free at the beginning of a report..looking up doctor names that are not on the lists we have been given, figuring out which is the date of admit, consult, etc.  If everything was programmed in and we just had to download a report and transcribe, we would be making a lot more and if the speech recognition would stop putting words down that the doctors are not saying so that we do not have to clean it all up we would have more time to ...

I am glad to see that some kind of movement is finally happing regarding a decent minimum wage.

Then the article went on to say that she and her husband Mark just bought an apartment in New York City around Gramercy Park for 10.5 MILLION DOLLARS. Nice to not have to be able to care about money.
