Salter harris IV type s/l ficile injury? - ??

Posted: May 25, 2012

First question, is it type 4 or type IV - I see it documented both ways, does anyone know which is correct?

Also he says what sounds like fiseal injury - any ideas?

Thanks for your expertise and assistance, not real familiar with orthopedics.

physeal, its the growth plate.

Salter Harris is in roman numerals but I've seen it done with numbers by others....ortho docs are picky and want Roman numerals..at least mine does.

Has anyone tried transcribing from a laptop away from their desk at home, maybe from the couch or in a reclining position while recuperating from a back injury? I recently injured my back. On days off when I'm not sitting in my office chair, I feel much improved. But as soon as I sit down to work, the pain returns like the day I injured it. Even with taking frequent breaks to stand up and walk around, I can barely stand up straight or walk after my shift and feel like I return to square ...

To have the percentage of stuff that goes to QA be a factor in the bonus. They are just encouraging people to send through stuff that truly is not decipherable (even numbers). Plus, how fair is it when you have one truly unavoidable blank in a 19-minute report and ALL those lines get counted as having been sent to QA? Motivating people to send through incorrect reports just could put me over the edge as far as leaving. ...

when they cut your pay and then ask you to absorb the printing and mailing costs of the ridiculous "new hire documents" for people who were innocently going along, doing their daily work, when out of the blue they were told of being merged into another company. Now really, is any of this OUR fault?? Like somebody said before, we are the faithful backbone of MDI and now we are being treated like scum off the street. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they need us to fill ...

I'm typing a crush injury to a fingertip, with debridement and surgery, basically a tiny bit of fingertip amputation. The doctor several times mentions "nail rest" that might have to be excised. He says "nail rest" very clearly, but I can't find anything online showing that this is an official medical term, and I'd like to verify it before turning the report in. Thanks ...
