Caritic Teeth - Linda
Posted: Feb 17, 2011
The doctor has dictated "caritic teeth" but cannot find caritic. Shouldn't it be "carious teeth"?
caritic - MTMT
[ In Reply To ..]Dental caries = tooth decay or a cavity.
So maybe he is using a form of this word? Teeth were caritic, meaning they were rotten or decayed?

[ In Reply To ..]Yes, I am sure he s talking about decaying teeth and the word "carious" is the adjective. I cannot find the word "caritic," so I believe it must a doctor made-up word. Has anyone ever heard of this word?

Just Love That Clickity-clack Sound Against The Teeth
Apr 24, 2013
as the doctor pops a hard candy into his mouth before starting his dictation. I worked at hospital once where somebody in Medical Records thought they'd treat the doctors by putting a bowl of hard candy in the dictating room! I hope that's not the case with this current account as this is the second or third time recently that I've heard that clickity-clack and mouth swirling sound in recent days. ...
S/l "endotracheal Tube 70 At 24 Of The Teeth"
Jun 30, 2010
Here's an excerpt to put the confusing line in context: "The airway was initially assessed by Dr. _____, who stated that it was not in the trachea. After an airway was placed, endotracheal tube 70 at 24 of the teeth was placed. He visualized it going through the trachea." I tried reading up on endotracheal tube placement procedures and whatnot to try to figure this out (seems like too many things are being placed in addition to the teeth thing), but perhaps my brain is too add ...
