Well, this doctor is a little strange sometimes with the words he uses, so it may be possible. It is definitely 1 syllable and starts with a "b" as far as I can tell.
Could also be saying mid systolic...sm - Babs

some of these doctors talk so fast that they get their pronunciations all messed up and any letter can sound like another. :)

speakers can make lots of syllables "disappear". Try to speak it out loud to yourself rapidly. Words like blowing can easily by squeezed into one syllable: Bloing.
Maybe your word isn't blowing at all, but I can tell you that in 15 years of doing cardiology, I have never heard of a broad systolic murmur.
Knowing blowing, never heard of broad in 30+ years - Answers
Never had this before but he says it plain as day. He is an ESL but pretty good otherwise. When I Googled it, it gave me a suggestion of "mechanic" but did not put it together with systolic murmur, just in the same setence. Anybody else hear of it?
Thanks so much! ...
Not sure about the following sentence:
The right round ligament was secured with 0 Dexon *and to leave* the broad ligament opened with cautery.
"And to leave" does not sound right, and I'm also not sure if "opened" should be "open." Any ideas??
Thanks!

I know this is hopeless, but here's the sentence: "Patient had echocardiogram done showing marked s/l leeterdeezed left ventricular systolic function." I suppose the "deezed" could be disease, but I don't know...
HELP! ...
the doctor starts his sentence off with 1/6 holosystolic murmur and was curious if I should put Grade 1/6 holosystolic murmur since it is at the beginning of a sentence and should I put the grade in there anyways if not started at the beginning of a sentence
...
Thank you for any help you can give! This is an ESL dictator!
heart murmur heard best at the pulmonary s/l "intragus bid foci" left sternal border.

Doc states, "There was no aortic insufficiency murmur, third heart sound, or pericardial rub." Should it be aortic insufficiency, murmur, third heart sound, or pericardial rub or is aortic insufficiency murmur correct?
Thank you! ...
