Pt in for wound care to rle after a lower extremity bypass. The dictator mentions after this that the pt had a reaction to the VAC dressing but is clearly not what he is daying here. Any ideas? Google is not helping so far.
The patient has been treated with a V.A.C. dressing and presents for follow-up. The patient developed some blistering from around the wound. This was from the s/l "de-ah-care" and drapes.

Dermatologist stating "Patient states she has had significant success with the 2 new agents that xxxxxx has provided her at the wound care clinic (spells this) algeas and Adaptic powder." Cannot reference algeas anywhere... anyone know if this is correct spelling? thanks in advance. ...
dictated: the wound care required every other week visits.
Would it be as typed above? Or stick some hyphens in there for every-other-week visits.
This is a narrative report and I have to do it verbatim, cannot reword it.
Thanks for any input. ...
I can't seem to find this listed anywhere. It sounds pretty clear...does anyone know the correct spelling or does the dictator actually mean "Jell-O"-?! ...
"The patient was placed in s/l "per-fours" (four layers) to both lower extremities and had legs elevated."
Feels like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. Any help greatly appreciated! ...
...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...
I have typed it like this for years and years (Wound V.A.C.) and while reviewing my "editor reviews" from a new account yesterday noted that Wound V.A.C. had been changed to wound VAC througout the report. I have sent an e-mail requesting clarification from them but wanted to take a poll here also. Thank you!
...
I had been typing this as wound V.A.C. and then was instructed that "per BOS" to take all punctuation out of acronyms. Now QA has instructed me to type this V.A.C. since this is the registered trademark name....I wish QA would make up their minds before I lose mind. TIA! :-) ...

Nonhealing ulcer of the left foot. The patient will still be nonweightbearing to the foot. In the front of the part, I advised the patient to use s/l alcosolatee. ...
When designating pressure ulcer stage, would you capitalize the S in Stage?: His Stage III pressure ulcer.
and

...
The operative note indicates that the wound tracked into the flexor hallucis longus channel.
Would this be correct? I know it is wound tract, but I don't think tracted is a word. ...
I'm doing a Wittmann patch procedure and the doc keeps referring to a "a fair" wound VAC. Could be aphthair, afthar, or something like that. Any ideas? I must be hearing incorrectly, but it sounds the same each time. Any ideas appreciated. TIA! ...
Does anyone know of what sounds like "ellipsoskin" He is saying I took out an ellipsoskin and combined the two holes int one big hole.
Thanks for any help.

If you have come here for years as I have you would know about the poster who got sued by a company for what she posted here about the company. I do not remember the name of the company nor the poster's name but I do remember reading the postings and I thought OMG myself. The companies do come here and read these postings. If you post something that is not true they might be like the other company, able to figure out who you are by what is posted or some way. I am saying, I know this to hav ...
During the switch to the POD setup I ended up submitting my holiday PTO requests at the tail end of the timeframe and by that time it was too late ... too many people ahead of me so my request was denied. I wasn't asking for the EXACT holidays off - I was asking for the day AFTER thanksgiving and/or Christmas Eve off to spend with my family. I've been OK with working the holiday so someone else can spend time with their family too. But of course, my request was denied ...
