Unclear word sounds like "cougars" - JewelE


Posted: Feb 14, 2013

"He had noted *(sounds like "cougars," or "tubers or") redness and swelling of the left first toe over the prior 3 days." I'm not finding any info on what this word could be. He has a toe ulcer and noticed inflammation. Still trying to figure this one out, but would appreciate any help if someone has any idea. Thank you!

can only think of rubor ... - MT35

tuberous - maybe? - nm

Regarding "cougars" question - JewelE

[ In Reply To ..]
Thank you to everyone who viewed and posted a reply. I will research terms using your suggestions and then use whatever I think fits the best. Wish me luck! =) Maybe I'll post another reply when I find out what the real word was.

no, no, no JewelE - perhaps a student?

you don't just plug in an answer that you think "fits best." If you do NOT know, you leave a blank and send it to QA to give you feedback.

If, however, you are a student, it would be your instructor who fails or passes your work.
