I can't figure out what this word should be. It s/l fest-itis. It doesn't sound like fasciitis. Do any of you know what it might be?

Anyone know of a good site(s) to get in-depth radiation therapy terminology? I have about 50 jobs in queue and have never typed it! Thought I'd ask here if anyone has a site they like while I continue to look for one. Thanks a million for any help! ...
Regarding the DLP - I've seen it written variously mGy-cm, mGy•cm and mGy.cm.
Becuase it's a product, my inclination is think that the second (with the dot used as in mathmetical publications to indicate multiplication) is correct but just not sure.
Anyone have a definitive answer & reference?
Thanks :) ...
I am working on a radiation oncology dictation and the MD is stating that a breast tumor is measuring s/l T2N0P(i)...I am familiar with the first part of this cancer staging (the T-N part) but can't seem to find any reference to the second portion.

He dictated the lowercase "i" being in parentheses too, but I can't find any reference for that either!

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail)
He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...
I'm just wondering when was the last time any of us took a moment and researched outside of this forum to get a better idea of what is happening with the MT industry?
Someone had asked last week for a listing of the largest? MTSOs. I posted regarding the KLAS MTSO study June 2008, but I wonder just how many MTs actually read it and absorbed the information that was made available to them within the free study.
There's all the commotion about ...
Did anyone else get the message from Massanotti? What do you think? Also, I went to medquist.com and was struck by the fact that they are marketing front-end dictation systems with SpeechQ, thereby eliminating transcriptionists altogether! I am not surprised, any way to get us out of the picture will make them more money.
