Brain dead I swear -
Please note, at his next appointment, he will need his knee aspirated and sent for CNS, fluid analysis and fluid Red-O.
Is it CNS or C&S?? I'm sorry, it's been an extremely long week and this PA is very mumbly!!
Thanks for your help! ...
The patient is being evaluated for anemia, and it is suggested that he may have myelodysplastic syndrome. This "Bromer or Romer" aspiration biopsy is suggested to further delineate this patient's anemia.
Thanks. ...
I just took a practice test, and it asked this question of the following sentence, is the sentence below punctuated correctly?
Fine needle aspiration revealed no abnormalities. The answer on the test was false. Is any part of fine needle aspiration hyphenated? Help? ...
but it really sounds like that. The whole sentence is "The contents of the gallbladder were suctioned out using the ------ Needle Aspiration System." It is an intra-operative aspiration. Any ideas? Thanks! ...
OK.....
It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain.
Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign.
It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know!
Thank you in advance for your help and ideas!

"A small amount of fluid is present at this site consistent with postbiopsy heam."
It is pronounced very clearly. Google seems to think it should be "haem", short for "haematoma" or "haemotology". Anyone else heard of this? ...
Once the vertical limb was completely closed, measurement is taken from the inframammary crease mark which is 1 cm below the *nader* of the incision up to the lower limbus of the nipple areolar complex. ...
This is a very negative board. I see misery loves company. If you hate your life and your job, what are you doing here? Oh, maybe thats why you are here. Nothing to do but P and Moan? MTStars? Doesnt look like it. This board needs more positive people. ...
I honestly don't understand all the negative MTs on here. It is very unprofessional to come on here and slam your company. I have been an MT for over 10 years and have always made enough money and I'm proud of what I do and love the money I make, all while working from home. I think most of these negative people are just people who aren't cut out for this profession and I wish they would realize that and go find something else to do. Why would you put your ...

Now labs: "LFTs unremarkable except albumin at 2.3. Total protein 5.9. (s/l:) Clotest negative"
Thank you! ...
Just wondering where all the people without work are at now, especially after the latest email. Funny how everyone complains about no work but many of the accounts are close to being out of TAT - of course, payday was a couple of days ago so the rush isn't on yet, right? ...
Seriously. The account I'm on has apparently been having lots of critical errors, mostly number errors, lab values etc.
So they sent out an email with an attached PDF with a crossword puzzle that we are required to do and turn in. WTF? Is this elementary school?
And we are paid by the line. How do they plan to compensate us for our time doing the required crossword puzzle?
I find it totally ridiculous. I can't even bring myself to open the attachment to look at the crossword p ...
hem/onc therapist doing breast exam. she describes r segmental mastectomy, then says "right (phonetic here) autella is negative. No nipple discharge. No skin changes." I would think she means areola, but I'm a guy, so what am I missing? Any ideas?

Two blanks on an op recreating nipples.
A small stab incision was made in the umbilicus and approximately 250 cc of tumescent fluid was "s/l interpolated" into the tissues of the abdomen.
Attention was then directed to the abdominal wall where fat was harvested using the "Adbive" (he spells this but cannot document) system sterilely to withdraw approximately 250 cc of fat. ...
I managed to squeak through the rest, but the drainage at the end stumps me.
"Prior to closure, *15 round Foley colluded blade* drains are brought out through lateral stab incisions secured with 2-0 nylon suture." Thanks! ...
