Proofing of vasectomy procedure - Mary


Posted: Nov 19, 2009

I was wondering if someone could quickly proof and give me feedback on a vasectomy procedure.  This was a doctor with quite an accent and I am not terribly famiilar with some of the terminology for this type of procedure. 

The left vas was grasped with a towel clip through the skin and a short linear incisoni was made down to the vas and the vas was cleaned of adventitial tissue.  Cautery was used to control the bleeding of the skin and around the vas.  The proximal end of the vas leading to the prostate had a lumen (?) cauterized.  The end was cauterized as well as the vessels.  Cautery was used on the testicular end only for the adventitous vessels. The lumen was not cauterized. A fascial imposition was done with 4-0 chromic. 

it is particularly the section on the cauterization that I struggled with.  Thanks for your feedback!

Proofing Tips
Jun 01, 2012

Would anyone be willing to share their proofreading tips. I find that VR requires a much higher level of concentration and focus to catch errors. The text on the screen can become a blur. After a couple of hours it is so easy to "hear" what the voice engine blew out and not catch a small but significant error. I am finding that something that needs to be deleted from the text is actually harder to catch than something that needs to be changed or added. Any tips would be helpful. I do see m ...


Safely Elminate Proofing?
Aug 10, 2010

I have read on here before that some people do not proof (only as they go) before sending their reports.  I am wondering if there is really a safe way to do that? I always proof and most often finding something wrong.  Sometimes I accidentally use an incorrect expander.  When I am typing and reading as I go, I see it expanding but don't notice it is the wrong thing until I go back and proof.  Other times I skip over a word, which is a pain, because when proofing I am of ...

Proofing Advice Needed Badly

I badly need your tips on proofing and what works for you.  I was always taught (sorry, old school) to type your document and then proof the entire thing, but that takes a long time, especially when documents are 30+ minutes long.  Using that method I do not get any errors.  But I am told I need to speed up, so I tried THEIR way of proofing as I go along, but last night made many errors, ugh!  What works for you?  Your tricks?  Your methods? Any tips on speeding up, ...
