Male patient who had a stroke, has paresthesias (sm) - Broke

Posted: Jul 02, 2014

and doc clearly says he suffers from PCOS. Is this an abbreviation for something other than polycystic ovary syndrome that I don't know about??? Thanks so much if you can help me here!

I don't know of another disease for which PCOS is - the abbreviation

Maybe he meant PCKD for polycystic kidney disease? If it were me, I would blank it.

Good morning. I have a doctor who consistently says paresthesiae and spells it this way when making corrections. The word paresthesia is in Stedman's but not paresthesiae. However, I do see it spelled this way on certain web sites, but most of the dictionaries I look at use paresthesias for the plural form. Can someone help me settle this one way or the other? I have always used paresthesias as the plural form but maybe I have been wrong, especially since the d ...

Today the doctor was listing the Impressions. When he came to about the third one, he suddenly gave a loud sneeze - "A-choo!" - and VR printed, "Possible passed stone." There was no similarity of sound at all. But it gave me a chuckle. Yesterday, a dictator said clearly, "This is a history and physical," and VR put "This is a discharge summary." At least we're needed for something. ...

Deposition of a neurologist on a stroke case. Here's the Question and Answer: Q. But you're looking for symptoms, you're looking for condition of other vessels to see if you can find out where this is coming from, correct? A. Well, I think that if you get an MRI scan and you see the basilar and proximal vertebral arteries, you're happy in your own mind that there is no disease in those vessels. And that's where most of the sub ...
