I can't seem to find this listed anywhere. It sounds pretty clear...does anyone know the correct spelling or does the dictator actually mean "Jell-O"-?!

I wonder if he might have misspoken. I did find Elasto-Gelâ„¢ Cast. Ours is not to question why, just to transcribe...in this case, though, while I find myself wondering if he used Cherry or Raspberry Jell-O, I'm leavin' a blank! :-)
hope you also found why a hyphen in your first - post is inappropriate - NM
The lower extremities show marked peripheral varicosities. There are also some excoriated lesions of the lower extremities with some mild scarring secondary to __s/l "thorabnitis".
Any ideas? This M.D. has a tendency to make up words, so he could be saying something totally different than how it sounds.
Thanks ...
Is there a type of lower extremity exam that would be done called digital hair? It s/l hair!
DP and PT pulses are palpable bilateral. Positive digital (hair) bilateral. There are no lesions or lacerations noted bilateral. Normal skin color, texture, and turgor bilateral.
It's an exam for a bunion deformity.

Hi all,
There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

"The patient was placed in s/l "per-fours" (four layers) to both lower extremities and had legs elevated."

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...
