I don't normally have such a hard time with ESL physicians, but this one is killing me:
His concentration was normal, as was his speech and language ___ knowledge.
His motor examination revealed good strength, ___ and tone in all extremities. (starts with a p?)

Hi, I am trying to figure out a sentence in a consultation report.
The sentence previous to the one in question is: "The extremities are without edema. The neurologic "exam"? is intact. There are good pulses in the periphery.
Without my headphones it sounds like "exam is". With them in, it sounds like something else. I can't figure it out at all, but it sounds like it starts with a "p" and maybe has another little word with it. Any clues at all?
Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you in advance for your help and ideas!

The other evening at the grocery store, I picked up the newest issue of Employment Guide. You've probably seen it - it's usually by the doors to the store, and it's a nationwide publication. It used to list actual job openings for the local area. Now, though, it seems to be mainly an ad newspaper for schools offering career training. Anyway, what struck me about this issue is that none of the schools that have always advertised in this paper list medical transc ...
I had an interview last week with a big national company, recruiter was unprepared, kept making excuses as to why and then was supposed to send more info, but that didn't happen. Then was supposed to call again today, no call. I'm going to take that as a sign that this is not a good place to work. Oh Lordy, I really need a job! Any advice please. Just email me. ...
From all of the negativity about Nuance, I was very leery about accepting a position with them, but finances prevail.
