I can answer this one as my daughter is on SBE prophylaxis. It is usually

taken one hour prior to the procedure. The American Heart Association ( I

think it was them) is expected to recommend possibly as soon as this year

that no SBE prophylaxis will be needed for dental procedures. This

information came from both her dentist and her cardiologist.

I think it's a reasonable request, although I almost never reply to the

list, feeling more comfortable (and I am so used to hitting reply instead of

reply all I don't even think about it any more) to respond to just the

person. But that's just me. I think I just don't like broadcasting

sometimes...not sure why. Maybe it's cuz sometimes I give the wrong answer

and I don't want EVERYONE to know I'm a bonehead, but I don't mind if the

person I gave the answer to knows it?? I definitely don't do it to leave

anyone out.

As far as your question about antibiotics: I have absolutely no idea!

A question and a request!

Hi,

My request is that when people give answers that they please post them to

the entire group. I find it frustrating to always having to be

contacting the person who posted the original question to ask them to

please forward me that answers that they get, since many of them never

make it to the group list. I know when I post a question I often get

responses to just my email, so the group as a whole doesn't benefit. Then

I get people contacting me asking me for the answers to be forwarded to

them! I would also ask if anyone who posts a question (unless it is

completely off topic) not request people to respond privately to them. I

feel like I miss so much when I can't read all the answers to the

questions! Is this reasonable of me to ask? If I'm way off base here,

please let me know! Thanks!

Now, my question: Does anyone know how antibiotics are prescribed for

someone having major dental work that has a heart murmur? What I mean is,

do you know if they are to be taken both before and after the dental

procedure or just before?

TIA!

Maureen,

LOL...you are too sweet. I have felt the same way and used to often just hit

reply, keeping my anwers private as well, but then I decided to try and look

at it as a learning experience for all including myself. No one would ever

think you were a bonehead. We all make mistakes and that is what learning is

all about. I think one could do this job for 20+ years and would have TONS

more to learn.

I agree with Valpie. I am always kind of afraid to post to the group because,

although I have been doing this over 5 years, I know my knowledge is very

limited. However, this is the " New Medical Transcriptionist Group. " You can

ask questions here that you can't ask anywhere else. I know I have tried asking

questions on other groups and have received no answers at all, just flaming.

Anyway, I always post to the group, but if I answer incorrectly, I would

appreciate someone setting me straight. From my observation, when it is done

here, it is done in a nice way, and I would like to know if I don't understand

the correct meaning of a word.

And I fully believe the statement about it being possible to do this for 20+

years and still have lots to learn.

Oh, I definitely look upon it as a learning experience! As a matter of

fact, when I grow up, I want to be just like Margaret, who reminds me of a

woman I used to work with, Elaine. I used to affectionately call her the

human encyclopedia - cuz she knew everything. My goal was always to try and

stump her with SOMETHING!

In answer to your question about prophylaxis for dental procedures: I know

someone who has to do this and the regimen is usually 10 doses or so spread out

over a couple of days before, during and after the procedure.
