Word help and I am stumped! - Colleen


Posted: May 21, 2010

The doc uses it twice and it sounds exactly the same each time.  The closest I can find is monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). 

The patient is a XXXX with a history of s'l "amgus" and diabetes, presents for right leg pain.

and

given her history of s/l "amgus" we will get x-rays of the hip, femur and tibia to rule out occult lesions.

Never mind, I think that is it and he is just hitting - the M sound hard enough

that it sounds like "am."

s/l "amgus" - Pat46

Could it be lupus?

Could it be MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy)? - Just guessing

First, I cannot find leukoesterase in any dictionary and believe he must mean leukocyte esterase.  Can I change it?  Should I flag it if I do or is it one of those things that is obvious enough that it doesn't need to be flagged.  Second, should I punctuate it differently?  I mean the WBC and he ...
