Tympanic membrame s/l mime/MIME? - NDMT


Posted: Aug 24, 2011

During the HEENT exam the doc says: "Tympanic membrane s/l mime with good light reflex on the right external auditory canal, occluded with cerumen on the left." What would the "mime" be?? Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

benign - thats what I would think

TMs benign

Benign totally makes sense... - NDMT

..and yet it really sounded like "mime"--I wasn't sure if this was an acronym I didn't know. It was my only blank, so I'll have to wait and see if this dictator uses this term again. Thanks for your help!
