Not sure how to write this
Posted: Aug 1, 2014
I'm doing a practice dictation for a total hip replacement, and of course this report is nothing like the 25 other reports it came with, so here is my issue. During a total hip replacement, the speaker says, "femoral head 28 +5". So, a 28 mm head, but what is the +5? Could anyone help me out? I did search beforehand but came up empty. Thanks in advance!

It's the neck offset - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Next time, it's better if you post your question over on the Word Help board.
28 mm is the outer diameter and the +5 is the neck offset.
Thank you - purefoysgirl

I'm a Democrat because I believe that we have to help the least among us. If that's healthcare for children, the elderly or the poor, if that's education for people who's family can't afford to send their children to private schools, if that's women who need abortions, when it's gays or African Americans being discriminated against, if it's working folks trying to get a fair shake.

Write To President Trump!Jan 25, 2017
I urge all MTs to write to President Trump at the White House about your MT situation. He needs to start meeting with the heads of hospital systems and bring our acute care and radiology transcription positions back to the hospitals in the United States. Dictation is being sent offshore and then brought back to the United States - hospitals need to be held accountable just like the automobile, manufacturing, and tech companies. Many hospitals used to allow us to work from home. ...
