In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0. I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place. Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...

I am doing an OP report that is not a strict verbatim and is able to be corrected to best English. The dictator says: Tibial guide retrocut was placed, drilled, and then reamed "retro-ly". He stumbled around a bit before settling on "retro-ly" because he, too, knew that couldn't be correct, but he, like me, has blanked on what the heck it should be. Plantar is plantarly, lateral is laterally....what does retro become? Does it just get stretched out to retrograd ...

In a cranial CT I have always transcribed "basal" cistern, but in the report I have, the doctor clearly is stating "basilar" cistern. The Stedman's electronic dictionary I have shows "basal" cistern also. Can someone tell me which is correct, or are they interchangeable? Thank you. ...

"I instructed the overnight ER resident to place a Foley; that was not placed and this morning the patient was incontinent of urine" He goes on to describe his disappointed in how neglectful this was, etc.... which it WAS, but humans make mistakes..... So, do you think that resident got his pay cut by 1000 dollars for that (I'm making it relative).....I HIGHLY DOUBT IT!!!! Shoot, this could be a really good way hospitals could save money!! By counting on the inevitable m ...

I have a doc who sounds like he is saying "YEOMAN'S 7th cranial nerve palsy." He has used it before. I cannot figure it out or find it (all I come up with is Bell's, and that is not what he is saying) and it has never been corrected on feedback, so apparently the editors don't know it, either. He has a strong middle eastern accent so this may be throwing me off. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you. ...
