Re: Podiatry abbreviations

[Guest guest]

I think she is saying (or trying hard not to say) " there is no pedal pulses,

bilaterally, and no hair growth bilaterally "

just a guess. I am not sure about that " nt "

Podiatry abbreviations

Doctor never used these podiatry abbreviations since I began with her yet

today she has used it on every patient. Any idea what she might be

referring to:

" There is (not are) NT TP pulses B/L. There is no hair growth B/L "

Any help appreciated.

[Guest guest]

Hmmm, well the B/L might be bilaterally. The TP might be tibial pulses. Not

sure about NT.

Aliceanne, Not sure exactly where you are. If you are talking about the legs, I

usually hear DP and PT pulses (dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial). Not sure

if that helps any, but abbreviations with some of those letters are always hard

to hear for sure. Margaret

PS I couldn't find anything in my abbreviation book that would fit for NT

pulses. MG

Sorry Rennie-

Yeah, the B/L is bilateral and she uses that at least 5 times in a report

daily. The NT is probably non tender but I am not sure about the TP.

Would she use P for pulse if she is already saying 'pulses'. I ask that

tongue in cheek as she often says 'MPTJ joint'. I thought I would throw

it out for some ideas before I decide that is exactly what she is doing.

She also did not pause between NTTP but I spaced it. She often says DMPVD

for diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease and asked me to

not space. She then decided I could if I want.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I thought since the subject was podiatry it would be assumed

that it was foot but that is not necessarily so. A foot doctor is a

doctor and she/he could have examined pulses in other points. I only

found Non Tender and I think that is a far stretch. AND DO I EVER KNOW

HOW THESE CONSONANT SOUNDS SO MUCH ALIKE. This is why I did a poll on

transcribers the other day. I need to get a clearer one than the Sony I

got from Martel. The author of the book " From the Kitchen Table and

Beyond " tells me her transcriber from Sony is horrible. The pedal breaks

every couple of months. She is now going to look for a Panasonic.as she

has good success with them. I used one many years ago and it was pretty

good.

Since I can't be sure if she is saying DP or PT I think I will call her

before my printer arrives and I print them out.

Thanks again.

I think my message crossed. I did respond to this a few seconds ago. So,

I will put this to bed with a note to call office in AM.

Thanks,

Aliceanne, Is my face ever red. Somehow I forgot what the subject line was of

this thread. Silly me, of course it was the foot. I am in the middle of one of

my least favorite cardiothoracic surgeons, doing a 6-vessel CABG, and my cats

keep trying to get me to go to dinner (they don't understand about the time

change and my wanting to wait). Anyway, hopefully I will start remembering to

keep in mind what the thread is about and quit asking silly questions. I do

think you are right to check with the doc as to what she means. Let us all

know, since we have been trying to help at least. Margaret

[Guest guest]

No problem but you could have been correct. The doctor may not have like

the reading and decided to check the remaining pulses to compare.

Has the red face powdered down a bit?

I wish I could be confident with that but I can't. She definitely says N

before the rest. Will let everyone know the answer tomorrow. Thanks to

you all though.
