I found this......Bakody Sign. This test is normally done with patients who have cervical radicular pain. The patient actively places the palm of the affected extremity flat on the top of the head while raising the elbow level with the head. When this action reduces or eliminates the radiating pain, the sign is considered present. A positive sign is indicative of nerve root irritation because of cervical foraminal compression.

All I kept when searching was the word Barcodes. Even when I tried it with a K. Maybe I better go back to google.

Thank you both so much for your input.

That's the site I found. Wow, a lot of tests I never heard of. - Olive

I'm working on the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam. The very first thing dictated, after the MSK heading is "s/l fetalblocker. FROM of the bilateral shoulders, elbows, wrists. (s/l minimal or medial ulnaral) deviation. Enlargement of the 2nd and 3rd MCPs of the bilateral hands." I know ulnaral isn't a word, but that's what it sounds like she is saying. She is breathing heavily into the mic with both s/l, so the sounds are altered. A ...

I'm having trouble figuring out what is being said in the musculoskeletal portion of this physical exam. "Full range of motion of the ankles. No (s/l ankle ITP) tenderness." It kind of sounds like there is an "M" sound in there between ankle and ITP, but it could just be that she is running the words together. ...

Under the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam, it is dictated, "Crepitus of the bilateral knees. No ankle tenderness or swelling. No MTP tenderness. Last (s/l Sjogren's) was 14.5 cm." I'm unsure what she would be measuring here. Also, I'm still wondering if anyone has any idea about this one, "MRI – mild. SI/degenerative arthritis.

The other evening at the grocery store, I picked up the newest issue of Employment Guide. You've probably seen it - it's usually by the doors to the store, and it's a nationwide publication. It used to list actual job openings for the local area. Now, though, it seems to be mainly an ad newspaper for schools offering career training. Anyway, what struck me about this issue is that none of the schools that have always advertised in this paper list medical transc ...
