During a colonoscopy/endoscopy..."Possible gastro preocism"....?? - Lauren

Posted: Dec 08, 2011

Note from November 1 for a combined colonoscopy and endoscopy. It documents postoperative diagnoses of: 1. Multiple sequel diverticula. 2. Suboptimal colonic prep. 3. Mild gastritis. 4. SOUNDS LIKE "Probable gastro preocism"

PLEASE HELP! The only thing I am coming up with that remotely makes sense is Probable gastral, preexisting. ???

try to remember: what you HEAR is not what they SAID.

As I recommended, look up every term.

Did you come up with references for "sequel diverticula"?

His dictation is completely different than the other two physicians who stick to one basic format. The first report is a colonoscopy: A moderate amount of liquid stool was noted within the colon. Aggressive _______ (sounds like "vollage") was attempted but the stool did not clear adequately. The second re ...

This is a fairly new doc that I'm typing for with an extremely heavy accent. It's a new patient consultation. The patient was seen in the emergency room recently and was noted to be FOBT (fecal occult blood test) positive at that time. Blood work was done and results are not available at this time. The patient also complains of (sounds like) bo-po-rig-mia of acute onset and a chronic history of reflux symptoms and burning in the chest. I was trying words like ...

I am transcribing a colonoscopy report and the doctor states, "...The cecum was reached and identified. The light translumen in the right lower quadrant. The ileocecal valve was noted." I am having a hard time hearing, "The light translumen in the right lower quadrant." The light translumen is the difficult part to hear. This doesn't make sense to me. Could this be correct?
