Doing a capsulotomy; MD says "PIPJ, which was released with capsulotomy and (J-stroke) maneuver. Cannot fine anything regarding what S/L J-stroke maneuver? ...
the testing as I probably sent in my resume a bit late. I am happy that I did not take the so-called test and end up like some here, helping them with free transcription.
I do hope that whoever MDscribing is, they will be banned from posting jobs here in the future. I was suspicious when I did not see a website mentioned or a link to use when applying. Never again will I apply for a job that does not provide some proof of identity.
Sorry for those of you who got taken ...
On a surgical report, the doctor states this is for debridement in the title. The word sounds like halomamol (?) of fourth interspace, right foot. She has somewhat of a speech impediment, not an ESL.
I cannot find this anywhere. Thanks in advance.
...
I need help again (please) "no evidence of any ulcer (sounds like quemous) to the foot".
Patient is a diabetic but no signs of of ischemia. Any ideas?

Does anyone have an edition of Stedman's Ortho book that was published recently. I'm looking for a Kuda shaver. Stedman's M&S Equipment 5th edition has it listed this way but my use of it is being questioned. My "old" Stedman's Otho has a Cuda shaver but does not mention Kuda..... Any help you can provide to help me prove there are 2...a Kuda and a Cuda....is appreciated. Thanks. ...
Dr. is mumbling something horrible with a heavy South African accent.
The patient is status post a corrective triple arthrodesis with bone graft for posttraumatic arthritis for a "s/l fill-ank-u-los" fracture.
Thanks for looking! I appreciate the help!
ME ...
I do podiatry fairly often, but I have never heard this before. Pt has a flat foot and an Evans calcaneal osteotomy is being done.
A _____ distractor was inserted and opened to approximately 8 mm.
The s/l is "one rob distractor" or "Juan Rob" but I don't hear "rod."
Any suggestions? ...
Another one. Podiatry is just not my thing.
In neurologic section of lower extremity exam:
S/l hypercrotic propriocethis sensation decreased bilateral extremities. ...
He asked me for my card, says he dictates onto mini cassettes and a lady picks them up and prints them on this post-it sticky paper. He asked me for my card and asked if I would be interested in covering for her if she were to quit, be on vacation of what have you. He says is not doing EMR, does not want to do it.
This got me thinking, he is middle-aged, small 2-man practice, how many other small office need MT help and not going through nationals or doing EMR. I am getting a transcriber f ...
Doc says the patient had a s/l TNCC (or maybe TINCC) fusion and tendon transferring. I can't find it in my abbv book - also tried TMCC. He says it twice and it sounds the same both times. ...
I will spell it out phonetically and used in this sentence...performed Cotton and Evans procedures as well as s/l kutz-e-jeomy. Thanks for any help. ...
Okay, so he says "The tourniquet was then released and hemostasis regained, employing **hemocautery." I'm new at podiatry, but could not find a reference for hemocautery. I found chemocautery. Anyone?
Thanks!!! ...
Dictated: Continue physical therapy. They will try iontophoresis or phonophoresis. He should continue with anti-inflammatory medication, stretching exercises, use of orthotics or inserts, and comfortable shoes. Consider cortisone injection or E-wall treatment. [end of note]
He clearly says "E-wall" - I'm thinking maybe acronym ?
I do not have an exact diagnosis as this is a f/u note - just that it is the foot-heel-ankle region.
Any suggestions apprecia ...
Stumped here. :(
Surgeon says:
Two screws fractured at the level of the bone. They were ____________ and removed in the usual fashion.
The blank sounds like "truffened", "troughened", "truffined"? Some sort of removal. I have absolutely no idea.
Thanks in advance. :) ...
Okay looks like there are 6 podiatrists in Iowa. So tempted to call and ask office manager if they know what is going on with their transcription...

The doctor dictates: *to surgery after appropriate preparation and today* prosthetic arthroplasty, Austin Moore-type left hip. What I flagged, I know cannot be completely right because it doesn't make sense. Any clues as what he may be saying?? Thanks!
