Hi -- I'm in traning to become a MT and I need some help. I've been listening to this over and over. If anyone can help me I would appreicate it so much. The dictation is as follows: "S/P 4 3 I&D WITH CULTURES AND A POLY EXCHANGE RIGHT TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY" I don't know what the numbers 4 3 stand for after the S/P (Status Post). I also don't know how I am supposed to type them -- with a colon, slash, etc. between them? Any info you can give me I would appreciate -- THANKS!
