Heart murmur term! - Funch

pulmonary triscupid focus left sternal border ??

How about... - Funch

"pulmonary and tricuspid foci" (the singular of focus)? I can just hear a slight "bid" under his breath after a pause from the other part of the word.

If he is referring to the pulmonary and tricuspid valves, they are both on the left sternal border.

Does that make sense?

I think it makes sense...nm - GT

Thanks! I am feeling like a super sleuth, but it was definitely you who made me listen to the whole thing slurred together!

Thank you so much!

Foci is the plural of focus. Focus is the singular form.

(Not the other way around.)

Here's a good one. This doc says the nurses in the ER noticed that patient may have had a heart rate of "800." Impossible. I thought possibly he could be saying "a hundred", but I slowed down the dictation and 800 is what he is saying. This is an ESL doc who talks very fast. This is not the first time he has said something incorrect. ...

It is with heavy heart that I am giving up my career as a transcriptionist.

I have taken a wonderful position in another industry and I am looking forward to my new adventure. First time in many years (longer than I can remember), I will be working Monday through Friday with all the hol ...
