correct spelling of medication cephoxolyn - LHMT

Posted: Sep 21, 2011

I can't seem to find the correct spelling of this medication. Sounds like cephoxolyn or spelled phonetically suffoxalin. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Maybe Zaroxolyn, or mispronunciation of Cefazolin? (nm) - MT

Zaroxolyn or mispronounciation of Cefazolin - LHMT

Definitely not Zaroxolyn as the beginning sound was clearly a c or an s. It could be possible that it was Cefazolin and was just being mispronounced but I'm really not sure.

If you are looking for an antibiotic, it's - Cephalexin

cephalexin? - LHMT

I had considered that and it seemed to fit since it was definitely an antibiotic that was being mentioned but it was pronounced as though the "x" sound came before the "l" (like suffoxalin)and wasn't sure if the doctor was mispronouncing it. I'm still not sure at this point which one it was that the doctor wanted. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I never thought I'd say this, but a dictator can do too much spelling. There is one at my company who spells out every single medication. While this is normally helpful, this doctor's pronounciation leaves a little to be desired. It would be much simpler for him to just say the name of the medication. ...

Anyone ever had this happen? You spell something and you know it's right, plain and simple - however, the doctor corrects you on it, but its still wrong!! Do you spell it "wrong" -just for him only- to make him happy so he doesnt think you're not doing your job right or do you keep on spelling it "right", which he says is "wrong"? ...

I'm not sure what got into Dr. Knucklehead's brain tonight, but he's spelling words like pannus, Trileptal, anasarca (which he spelled wrong). It's bad enough he's doing it as often as he is because he's completely messing up the voice recognition for his drafts, but he has spelled pannus every freaking time he has said it. The patient has cellulitis below her pannus, so the word is coming up a lot in this report. I have one more hour to go and then a ...
