"The patient gives a good history of symmetric inflammatory disease with onset and stiffness that are consistent with a s/l seenya rheumatoid arthritis. She does not have a significant family history, but she is a smoker, which is a known risk factor for developing RA."
I'm unsure if the dr. is changing her mind midsentence and wants to say "that are seen in a" or if she's saying "with a seed of" or something completely different. I thought she might be saying "senior" but ...
An ESL is enumerating the surgical risks of hand surgery. He lists osteoarthritis and what sounds like "MT arthritis". [That would be like what we get from too much typing;)]
Seriously anyone have an idea what this could be. I have researched many kinds of arthritis and the closest I can find is enthesia-related arthritis which appears to be a child ailment and the patient is not a child. ...
Doc says: "Patient has some s/l ageefacee joint arthritis." In googling I found "age facet joint arthritis" but I have no idea if this is right. Can this be right? Who pronounces "age" as "agee"?? I also thought "facet" was pronounced as "fah-SET." This doc is not ESL. He is usually clear as a bell. Does anyone know what "ageefacee" might be? Or is this guy yanking my chain?? (Yes, I'm paranoid <g>) ...

Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down.

Got offer to "test" with 3 companies lately from jobs posted on this site. Transcribed 5 fairly long reports each time. One answered that I did a "great job," but job has been placed "on hold" until a later time...that was 2-3 months ago. Listing was company, "CH." They had another post lately, last week I think, different field/area of practice though, from the ones I typed. Wasted about 1 1/2 hours, including multiple choice, foot pedal didn't work so did reports by hand.
Second time, ...
Hi All,
I have a new doctor who keeps referring to "stigmative arthritis" which makes sense in its own way, but I can't seem to find any reference material for this. Have you heard of this, and if so, so you know where can I find some information on it?
Thank you in advance. ...
The CT scan of the head reported that there was atrophy noted in the ceverac node spaces in the frontal lobes.
ceveractnode ... ceverac node ... severac node... why can I not figure this one out. LOL ...
Under laboratory date it sounds like he is saying I gap 9, what would that be? I was thinking anion gap (AGAP) but the value seemed extremely high. ...
Possibly a feeding tube? She does have a PEG tube. Need to know the reference, too, please. I know I've had this term before, but I can't remember where I found it. ...
