Op Note: colon was s/l *socked* to abdominal wall nm - oregon mt


Posted: Jul 21, 2011

full context:  There was no evidence of intraabdominal contamination, although the sigmoid colon was socked to the left lateral abdominal wall. Is that right, socked?

stuck ? Maybe the doctor is mispronouncing it. - sweetgirlsmom

I typed "colon stuck to abdominal wall" and there are many websites with this situation or with other organs being stuck. In 32 years, I have typed stuck many times, but never heard "socked."

Thanks :-) - oregonmt

I thought it was pretty weird as well...I went ahead and sent it to QC to have another listen.

Dec 04, 2012

Okay, so I know what has been happening the past few months, but since it didn't affect me directly, I just kinda put it out of my mind.  But since the first of the month, my BOB is out of work during my shift (late afternoon/early evening).  This has never happened before.  Wondering if it is because daytime people are switching to later hours or my work is going overseas?  Not NJA yet, just unfamiliar work for the majority of my shift.  If this is how it's go ...

Banging My Head Against The Wall

I keep getting dinged for comma usage, and I'm not one to overuse them, though I fully support the use of an Oxford comma.  I am old school, and I've been taught the following about commas 1)  They go before a conjunction when what could be complete sentence follows. 2)  They do not go before or after (unless there is a strange circumstance, i.e, "indeed" or some such wording thrown in) a conjunction w/o a complete sentence following it. My hospitals are "modified ver ...
