Meds I can't understand... - Sheri
Posted: Apr 18, 2010
First off, is "med" an appropriate abbreviation or if I need to expand it. Also, I'm having trouble with a few of the medications she's listing. The first one sounds like Serapril...I know there's Seroquel, and that's a possibility, but it really sounds like she's saying, "pril." Is there anything else that sounds like that? The next one s/l permecidene and the last one s/l kolite. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Maybe... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Whether you can use "med" or need to expand it would depend on the client preferences. Some will want it transcribed verbatim and others don't, so it would really just depend on what the particular client wants.
The only med I can think of that starts with an "s" sound and ends with "pril" is cilazopril (an ACE inhibitor).
On the second one, can you hear promethazine?
On the last one, my first thought would be CoLyte, but that is a bowel prep, so it's really for a one-time use and not really a med per se that would be taken regularly. Is the patient going to undergo a some kind of a bowel procedure?
Maybe... - Sheri
[ In Reply To ..]No, she's on a lot of pain medications that would cause her constipation, though. The list that the CoLyte was in also contained lactulose and senna, and it seemed to imply that she didn't necessarily take them everyday. Would it be reasonable, then, that she's also taking CoLyte occasionally?
Thanks for your help!
could it be.... - anon
[ In Reply To ..]My initial thought was Colace, and now that you have posted that the list also contianed Lactulose and Senna which also usually go with Colace can you listen again and see if it could be that?

Hi, I'm transcribing a doctor's note that's describing the patient's allergies and how the patient has tried various OTC drugs, including 'pseudometafecin' but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to spell that correctly; I've tried all of the different variations that I can think of (sudometofecin, pseudometaphecin, etc.) and tried looking up 'allergy medications' and coming up with squat. I have a feeling I'm very close to how it may ...

Need Help Dealing With A Co-Worker Who May Be On Pain Meds

What would you do if you had a co-worker who is stressed, has panic attacks, had back surgery and is on pain medication, and accuses everyone of all sorts of things. She is totally inappropriate, paranoid, and destroying the work environment. If anyone suggests that she forgot to do something or did it wrong, she has a panic attack, or more like hysteria. She reports people for silly things, but even though the charges are silly, they still go in the record. She writes complaints about people co ...
