Posted: Aug 02, 2010
it as wet-to-drys or simply wet-to-dry?

I would probably change it to wet-to-dry dressings. But that's just my preference, as drys is technically not part of the dressing package.
I have a dictator that always says the phrase "wet to drys" at the end of his op reports. Yes, it is always a plural sound. "Wet to drys" just does not look right to me, but neither does "wet to dries." I would appreciate it very much if some of you fellow MTs would weigh in on how you think this phrase should be written. Thank you very much in advance. ...

exactly the same on every report and you have put his ROS and PE in your abbreviation expander, but sometimes he will dictate something out of order. For example, the dictator still says the same exact things he always says, but sometimes instead of saying "EXTREMTIES: No clubbing, cyanosis or edema." He says, "EXTREMITIES: No edema, clubbing or cyanosis." Do you go back and change it or do you leave it since he is saying the same thing? And if you don ...
