Pal port another name for Port-A-Cath? - MSmt
Posted: Jan 25, 2010
I am doing an OP note. The surgeon says the name of the surgery is a "Pal port." In the description he says Port-A-Cath. Never heard of a Pal port. Is this right?
The word sounds like theficants. The sentence is - We discussed the importance of a Port-A-Cath if she were to proceed with chemotherapy since the regimen contains multiple ____.
S/l theficant, thuficant, deficants. Found toxicants, but doesn't sound like that.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I am new MT (sort of). I am doing a cardiac cath from an ESL with marbles in his mouth. This is a false positive stress test, and I am going nuts with one phrase. It is:

I googled the phrase and found it, and was led to this site, but it is not here. Anybody have a clue on the (s/l trans sif ico)? ...
