Posted: Sep 04, 2010
The patient is being seen in followup of s/l craniotomy bed abscess. He remains on empiric antibiotic s/lfaropueis.

craniotomy bed is correct (as in surgical bed, wound bed, abscess bed). The second part to me sounds like empiric antibiotic therapy.
He was worked up and found possible pancreatic abscess by interventional radiology and needle core biopsy, 5 cm s/l palopancreas resteron organized pneumonia, although they said it was too little to drain.
Thanks for any help. ...
Aaaargh! Dictator is repeating this phrase again and again, and I cannot get it! He is either saying "issu-ano abscess" or "issu-anal abscess." I wanna go to bed! :( ...
Patient had root canal and is now having swelling, maybe abscess.
For context: Oropharynx does show swelling and erythema around the lower posterior tooth. There is some s/l flocculence noted but no purulent drainage.
Thanks. ...
Doctor dictates: " He eventually underwent exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy for a right (s/l colonic) abscess of unknown etiology."
The patient has a left tibial plateau fracture. It s/l colonic but it also sounds as if it has a 'q' at the start of the word. I cannot make it out, and all my research has turned up nothing that would fit. Please help anyone??? ...
This is the sentence that was dictated: "The patient does not tolerate antibiotics well because of a congenital anal stenosis..." I can't find any relation between the two, does anyone know for sure? ...
MD states what sounds like, "She was given D4 antibiotic treatment but could not tolerate it on her stomach and after seven days stopped it." This antibiotic tx was for Helicobacter pylori. I can almost make myself think he is saying, "She was given the full abx tx but then the sentence would not really make sense, would it? Can anyone help? Dictating MD is a neurologist and referring is Internal Medicine. Thanks!!! ...
