I've heard of palpable cords plenty of times when examining the extremities, but this time under HEENT, doc says "His mucous membranes are moist. His temples had no *s/l palpable cords* and nontender to palpation. Pupils equal, round, and reactive..."
Is this correct? ...
In this physical examination, it sounds like it is being dictated, "Both upper and lower extremities with (s/l pedal) edema." That doesn't seem to make sense, but perhaps I'm wrong...what other word could he be saying instead of pedal? He pretty much mumbles his way right passed it. ...
I can't understand my dr. for the life of me. I don't know if he's trying to say a medical term or if he's just talking. In the HPI he says "No increased swelling, but she has horbbile edema S/L RH HER LIT THUM." I could use any help y'all could give. Thanks so much in advance. ...

I have listened to this over and over and it sounds like this doctor is saying, "No clubbing, cyanosis, edema, or lesions. Full range of motion s/l of/in both pulses." Then he goes on to the neurologic part of the exam. Can anyone help me with this, please? ...
Dictator dictating the extremity section of PE and says significant right-sided hemiplegia, significant "anesthesia."? Would this be what is sounds like? TIA. ...
When the doctor dictates about the gait and tandem gait, do you leave that under extremities if he dictates it there? He usually says it at very end of physical exam, and I am unsure if he just forgot to dictate "NEUROLOGICAL" heading or what. Sometimes he does dictate a NEUROLOGICAL heading and puts the gait there as well as other things, but then many times he dictates it at end of extremities and does not give separate heading. What would be the appropriate thing to do in th ...
