sinus cancer PE term s/l meadows. Or metals? - NDMT
Posted: Mar 01, 2012
Patient has cancer of several sinuses. During the PE doc says "She has s/l meadows in the lower left jaw." Meadows?? I'm wondering if he means "metals" as he is a heavy ESL Asian doc, but that doesn't make sense either. This patient is also Asian and so I'm wondering if this is some cultural thing on the order of tattoos or lip/nose/wherever rings. Anyone have an idea? Thanks so much.
metals as in dental work? - hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not very informed of Asian customs, but have never heard of meadows in a jaw.
Me either. I'm stumped. - NDMT
[ In Reply To ..]It could be dental work, I suppose, but I wonder what kind it would be that you could actually see it? Like gold teeth cages of something? And he says "jaw" rather than "teeth," but he might be generalizing. I suppose a possibility is it might be some kind of plate from a previous surgery, although he said past surgical history was none. I wish I could call up this patient and ask because now I'm really curious!
I know! all I can think of now is James Bonds' - hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]Jaws with the heavy metal smile!!
Sometimes dental posts are anchored to the jaw, though. When in doubt, leave a blank.
LOL! Now I want to go listen to YouTube instead of typing - NDMT
