Has candles bilaterally? - Fatigued Fingers
Posted: Mar 04, 2011
In the physical exam section, the doctor is dictating on the extremities. He says what sounds like "Extremities have candles bilaterally, but no pretibial edema."
Good morning everybody. This is a new one for me (both doctor and word!). PT had L4-5 microdiscectomy,. In the objective doc says: She does have 4/5 strength of the right anterior tibialis and right extensor hallucis longus. This was present preoperatively as well, and she has 5/5 strength the __ and monotones bilaterally. The blank s/l "eld" so i think he is cutting off part of this word and I don't have a clue. Anyone have a suggestion ...
Is there such a thing as a bilaterally central headache? I'm having a lot of trouble understanding this ESL doctor, but I can't figure out what else she might be saying that sounds like this.
Thanks so much for your help! ...
This sounds like vomis/vaumis/volmis/volmus OR it could be a phomis sound. Or maybe it begins with an "F." God only knows. This is for an infant with a lot of dry skin during the physical exam. What does this poor child have?? ...
Help! It sounds like chest is clear bilaterally......??? deformity. Heart: Regular rate and rhythm, etc.
Any input with a standard phrase for an emergency department consultation that says the above? Thanks so much for any help. ...
there is slight interval increase in the size of retroperitoneal and inguinal lymph node with persistent soft tissue stranding around the "comedy myo carta lee" bilaterally. ...
In doing an eye exam, doc says "Pupils are equal and reactive to light. There is no pallor or icterus s/l "5 to 4" bilaterally. EOMI with no nystagmus." It sounds like "5 to 4" or "5:4" if it's a ratio, and I don't know that it is. I've typed for this guy for about 3 years and he has just started saying it. Any ideas what or why he is saying it? Thanks in advance. ...
He's clearly saying Ears: NTM bilaterally ..... and ears and TM bilaterally makes no sense anyway. Anyone know what that acronym could stand for?? in regard to ears/heent ??? I can't find it anywhere. ...
