Any ideas?

I could go into a lot of woes about MT work. We all know how the industry is going. I am in my 50s, and frankly I am just biding/doing my time. My back is bad, my legs won't hold up for standing or walking too long, this computer has all but done my eyesight in. ;)
That being said, I do have to give the positives. I made very good money for nearly 14 years. I cand dress up or down, work in my night gown, undies or whatever I deem appropr ...
I am typing an ophthalmic surgery report and am currently stumped on the name of an instrument. As follows...
"There was not a lot of preaponeurotic fat, but what was there was dissected gently off the surface of the levator, cross-clamped with a s/l BV Jake, and then excised using Westcott scissors."
Would appreciate any help! Can't find it with Google. ...
I have suddenly been getting audited at least 3 times a week. Lots of little "and" versus "the" type errors. Plus, now I'm so nervous I've started making stupid mistakes. I figure I'll be one of the next group to go. I've been doing this since 1978 and I don't know anything else. I just feel stupid. And hopeless. ...
This doc has said this on several occasions, a type of clamp. Sounds like "my clamp" and used as follows: "Then a My clamp was clamped at the base of the left corpora." Have tried mai, mey, my, mye, but all to no avail and cannot document this. Any ideas? ...
Has anyone come across this? A surgeon just spelled this for me - he rarely spells anything and is one of the more reliable dictators. I can, of course, find references to this spelling on the internet, but none that I'm totally confident in. Is there actually an "Alyce" as well as an "Allis" clamp? (surgery is a hemorrhoidectomy) ...
The uterus was clamped at the adnexa with a large _______ clamp. I really can't tell what it's saying...MAYBE "angled Z clamp", but I don't really know. It is a hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. What are my choices? ...
Hello! Having some hyphen trouble.
Here is the sentence: ... and the pedicle of the ovary and tube were cross clamped with right-angles.
Does right angles need a hyphen. I know if it is "a right-angle clamp," then it needs a hyphen, but what about if it comes later like the sentence before.
Is it "clamped with right angles" or "clamped with right-angles?"
Is this capitalized? I did not think so!
Also, is it supposed to have an "s" on i ...
I can hear the "k" at the beginning (I think I can hear the "y" at the end) and s/l straight Kelly clamp
The skin tag is on the neck. They apparently use this clamp in plastic surgery procedures but not sure if there's another type that would be more fitting for a simple skin tag removal.
Thanks! ...
Doc is referring patient for labs to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. He's listed these a million times and always says "CCP level." This time he said "citrullinated cross-linked peptides." I'm thinking he just doesn't know what CCP stands for, as I can only find "cyclic citrullinated peptide". He's not a rheumatologist, but then again, neither am I. Can someone with rheumatology experience weigh in? ...
I'm considering dropping to PT from FT. I guess I'll lose my medical benefits, such as it is.
I checked on the Blue Cross/BS site and for one of the "affordable" plans for an individual, the monthly premiums/deductibles, etc. are about the same. At first I was thinking I couldn't afford to go to PT as I need medical benefits, but now I'm not so sure.

Thought it was cross-fused renal ectopia (with hyphen?) but when searching I see a ton of references to crossed fused renal ectopia. Anyone with a reliable source to verify or can you explain why one versus the other? Thanks! ...
