sounds like a series of "guppies" were placed - mtmt


Posted: Dec 31, 2009

Spinal surgery at L4-L5.  Sounds like... "incision was made...   a series of guppies were placed.  Dissection was carried down to the fascia"  and later again, "Guppies were placed deeper within the paraspinal musculature." 

One sound is exactly like GUPPY.  The other one sounds a little like GOLPY or GULPY.

I think you're looking for Gelpi (retractor) (nm) :-) - Mushroom

Use Of "or" Versus "and" In A Series
Dec 08, 2014

This has been bothering me. I have one provider who says in her ROS, for example: "The patient denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or melena." I think the "or" should be an "and," as the patient is denying each AND every one of these things, not this one OR that one. Of course, I understand what the provider is implying, but I think the correct word used should be "and," not "or." What do you think? If anyone can give and answer and back up with a grammatical rule, I would greatly appreciate it ...
