"Mucusy stool" correct when dictated? - klm
Posted: Feb 24, 2012
Cannot find any reference to the spelling of "mucusy."
mucousy - nm

Mucusy - Dee
[ In Reply To ..]Mucousy
mucus-noun, mucous-adjective = mucousy - NM
[ In Reply To ..]
I've always been told to use "mucus-like" - and not "mucousy" nm

I pick mucousy. - nm

Mucus-like - ...
[ In Reply To ..]Our company wants us to use mucus-like. Same with pus-like instead of that "other" word that falls along those same lines. :)
Mucous is the adjective. There's no need for the "y" on the end. no murmur - Hanginginthere
[ In Reply To ..]....
Hahaha good ol' ShortHand. I meant "nm" - Hanginginthere
[ In Reply To ..]....
type exactly what he said and let your QA person figure it out - anon
[ In Reply To ..]truth is, there is no such word; and that is basically "slang" medical terminology. If thats the only problem with the report, type it and send it through.
If it comes back with a problem, which I doubt. Who will be at fault? Not you, because you simply typed what he said.
the other option is to type "mucus-like". Take your pick.
Mucoid is the correct term - mucoid stool - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Mucus-y is not a word, but if you have to write it, it has a hypen.
The correct word for this and for mucus-like is mucoid. Mucoid stool.
The correct word for pus-y is purulent, but if you have to write it, it has a hyphen. Purulent drainage. Purulent exudate.
