Help with Neurology word - mtnest
Posted: Oct 05, 2014
MENTAL STATUS: The patient is awake, alert and generally very anxious, with pressured and thick speech. She is unable to sit still and is very ______ (doc spells it out twice as "akithetic").
I am sure she is trying to relate a word like "akinetic," because the admitting diagnosis was difficulty with coordination and walking, but she clearly spells this out twice as "akithetic." Has anyone else used this word before?
Hmmm.... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]At first I thought "akinesthetic," but that's more to do with mental difficulty. I think you're right that it's akinetic. Here's what Medi-Lexicon says. It makes sense:

Thanks --- I guess I'll have to flag it. sm - mtnest
[ In Reply To ..]I would have just used "akinetic," but since she spelled it, I can't take a chance. Thanks!

Since When Is Neurology Service Capitalized?
Mar 03, 2014
Years back, the name of the service was to be capitalized if they said the patient was seen by Podiatry or the patient was seen by Neurology. But if the patient was seen by the neurology service, it was not capitalized. Why am I being counted off for not capitalizing Neurology Service? It just looks stupid with it capitalized. I feel like I'm dealing with people who don't really know what they are doing. Very frustrating. ...
