In the physical exam section, the doctor is dictating on the extremities. He says what sounds like "Extremities have candles bilaterally, but no pretibial edema." ...
Good morning everybody. This is a new one for me (both doctor and word!). PT had L4-5 microdiscectomy,. In the objective doc says: She does have 4/5 strength of the right anterior tibialis and right extensor hallucis longus. This was present preoperatively as well, and she has 5/5 strength the __ and monotones bilaterally. The blank s/l "eld" so i think he is cutting off part of this word and I don't have a clue. Anyone have a suggestion ...
Is there such a thing as a bilaterally central headache? I'm having a lot of trouble understanding this ESL doctor, but I can't figure out what else she might be saying that sounds like this.
Thanks so much for your help! ...
This sounds like vomis/vaumis/volmis/volmus OR it could be a phomis sound. Or maybe it begins with an "F." God only knows. This is for an infant with a lot of dry skin during the physical exam. What does this poor child have?? ...
Help! It sounds like chest is clear bilaterally......??? deformity. Heart: Regular rate and rhythm, etc.
Any input with a standard phrase for an emergency department consultation that says the above? Thanks so much for any help. ...
I am working on a gynecology report and this sentence reads like... her past history includes a previous (s/l LIDS) procedure and a salpingo-oophorectomy. Any suggestions for the "LIDS" procedure? ...
Doc dictates re: pt with left upper swelling. It s/l he is saying "left arc bursitis/fluid admission in the left arc bursa". (I'm sure it's not admission). ?? ...
Nuance has just had a MAJOR announcement! They are making changes to upper management AGAIN. It is no wonder we get paid crap. Look at their structure and they have WAY too many people in this establishment and all making way more than we do and we are the ones that do the work. Heck, they probably do not even know how to do transcription I bet. Greed, greed, greed. And I could care less about it. Give me the pay I am worth. They want better qualit ...
I know we've got some management that read the board and occasionally respond, and I just wondered if one could answer a question for me. Having been in the healthcare field for about 40 years, I understand that it is a 365/24/7 industry. But I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of everyone working either Sunday-Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday.
Why can you not have rotating weekends? Then an MT could have entire weekends ...
I've heard about getting carpal tunnel syndrome if you type a lot, but I've not experienced anything at all like that, at least no so far. However, recently I've started feeling some shoulder and upper arm area ache, not really pain, but just some localized yet diffuse ache in the upper part of my right upper extremity. (I'm starting to talk like a physician.) Anybody else experience this before? I should get back into yoga. ...
Stomach _________ was remarkable only for some minimal suggestion of antral gastritis with hyperemia and focal hypervascularity.
He speaks perfectly clear English, so it's not the b/v switcheroo. I've had no luck in word books, anatomy books, or Google. ...
We also proceeded with an upper endoscopy as well. Upper endoscopy showed that her gastric remnant only had mild nonspecific erythema. I explored the surgical (lumen) and found that this was completely normal.
FYI- The pt also has a history of gastric resection and a known surgical anastomosis, but the word in question is not anastomosis.
It s/l lumen or limb or lamen.
Any ideas?
Thanks. ...
I don't understand why you continue to "wing it" with a company the size of Imedx. Regarding the recent unveiling of the time clock system in Exponent HR, you jumped the gun without thinking through much of anything. Why not wait until your ducks are in a row before implementing a new system. The training meetings were great, but there were/are so many unaswered very basic, practical questions that are unanswered. It is like you guys set a date for something to go li ...
Doc dictates that the total skin advancement was 4 mm x 3 mm for a Tenzel type/ (sounds like) Mestarti-type flap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...
Patient did use 2 finger upper extremity support but showed good control. This indicates normal eccentric strength for descending stairs.
This is for knee pain.
Has anyone heard of this before? ...
The Dr. says "Grip strength is 5/5 in the upper and lower extremities." Is he misspeaking, or is there grip strength measurement for the lower extremities?
Thanks! ...
