PE on right heel and foot. I swear it sounds like the doc is saying 'Silver skull test'. He's a temp for me and I'm completely unfamiliar with what this might be! Thanks for your help in advance :) ...

It actually sounds like disuse, but thought diffuse. Second word sometimes sounds like ax fume, lol Thanks. ...
Got an Asian doc who is always prescribing "Sock-o-sock" or "SockuSock" for edema. That's exactly what she's saying. Any ideas? Will go with sock-on-sock for now, but that's not really what it sounds like. Thanks. ...
