diagnosis s/l "veal colostomy" - starstruck
Posted: Mar 25, 2010
This patient has pancreatic cancer and a small bowel obstruction. Under the the list of diagnoses, the doc says something that sounds like "veal colostomy." I'm pretty sure it's not that :-) I was also thinking of "video" colostomy, but that makes about much sense as the veal one. Does anyone have an idea?
never mind--I think it's "ileal" - starstruck
[ In Reply To ..]or maybe not. But for sure it's not "veal."
At the risk... - brrrr
[ In Reply To ..]of getting hammered, I'll offer a suggestion ;) Ileocolostomy ??
oh heavens - starstruck
[ In Reply To ..]Bonk bonk bonk. You're probably right. One thing I've *never* been able to figure out is all the combining forms. During training I had the worst time with what I called "fake words." I'm still not sure what the rule is, if any, for this. Body system combination forms aren't as bad now, but I still never am sure when to check to see if a combined form is correct, especially when it concerns directions like anterior-lateral vs anterolateral.
