I hate when they spell! - Xaviera


Posted: Feb 24, 2010

She had moderate malnutrition, which was treated with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube feeds.  However, the patient had a very large tracheostomy stoma and had s/l aerobhagy resulting in severe abdominal distention. 

The "aerobhagy" is what she spells.  Any clue what she might be talking about? 

aerophagy - excess swallowing of air

Thanks - Xaviera

She said it the next time instead of spelling it. I get it so much better when they just say the word.

Thanks!

aerophagia - je suis MT

From Dorland's:

aerophagia (Ärâ³o-fa´jÓ) excessive swallowing of air, usually an unconscious process associated with anxiety, resulting in abdominal distention or belching; these are often interpreted by the patient as signs of a physical disorder.

Help! Spell Check Issue.
Dec 04, 2009

Thanks for your help.  For some reason, my spellcheck is doubling twice.  For example, if I hit F7 in the report or even upload, it would highlight a word misspelled such as Treadmil (need the extra "l" at end of word).  Spellcheck will highlight word and replace.  Then it will state "Spellcheck complete" and will do it AGAIN. It will then change the "treadmil" word to not only right the first time by adding an extra "l", but will add ANOTHER "l" to spell TREADMILLL.  Ho ...
