I do transcription for radiologists, and this comes up quite often. Is it osteomeatal complexes with an "e" or ostiomeatal complexes with an "i"? Sometimes they say ostiomeatal "units" instead of complexes. These rads use Dragon, so I'm only proofreading and editing their reports, and it comes to me spelled in both ways, even from the same rad. Any help here fellow MTs? ...
The sentance reads - __________ views shows occipital cervical complex with no obvious evidence of arthritic change.
The blank sounds like "L spine", but since this is of the occipital region I don't think it would be that.

I have looked back through the patient's files from previous visits that I have on my flash drive (keep these for a year) and it just mentions his right wrist. Any ideas what "left AC" could have to do the the right wrist or is my PA just getting his tongue tied again? Thanks for any help. ...
Ever since our FTR plan, I rarely send anything to QA. I usually only have 1 blank occasionally, and if I can't hear it, most of the time QA couldn't either, so I send the blank. Got new accounts. I was doing fair with that. I don't know what has happened, but I am getting the bottom of the barrel yesteray and today. I have had to send 3 or 4 reports to QA because of the more than 3-blank rule. That is depressing that I do the reports and get vi ...
I wish someone would ask the sisters or one of the A's what honestly is going on. All I get is "Work is just slow right now." RE: the post below about the docs saying something about Dragon, it really makes me wonder. I wish they'd communicate the truth. ...
Status post right pharyngeal nerve injury with C3 to C7 fusion requiring further surgery.
The surgery was reportedly complicated by a right recurrent pharyngeal nerve injury requiring subsequent surgery with improvement and complicated by left rotator cuff tear which has required two surgeries.
Am I correct here thinking this would be "pharyngeal nerve"?
Thanks ...
Would "crown nerve 5" be right in the following sentence?
She has sensory deficits in her right face particularly around the second component of crown nerve 5 but also some sensory deficit globally in a stocking glove distribution in the right upper and right lower extremity.
Thanks so much!
...
shouldn't it be hallucal nerve?
The patient is having trouble with her feet and he states the diagnosis is...
neuralgia at the medial s/l halacele nerve (hallucal) tia. He does not pronounce it as hallucal, but I cannot find anything else. ...
Doc is saying that s/l "poutic's out was identified just distal to the fibular head."
Wha???? Found something calling the peroneal nerve the "pout" but am stuck. ...
Rountable re MUP minimum wage, conference calls re MUP? Seems to me that someone is squirming at Nuance about minimum wage and it makes me smile. :) Keep up the pressure fellow employees. Has the the Dept of Labor been in contact with them recently? :0 I realize Nuance thinks they are above the law but they do have another thing coming in their near future. Watch out TSMs. You will be held accountable also, for the higher ups will ensure they are not ...
At the same time, he has weakness of abductor pollicis brevis (CA, median nerve) as well as numbness of first finger and thumb on the left (median nerve C6).
I am not sure what he is referring to when saying CA and wonder if this makes sense? ...
Also, due to the fact that the patient had evidence of early nasant right median nerve dysfunction, despite having had two right carpal tunnel repairs performed in 1990 as well as in 1996.
I know I am off but that is what is sounds like. Thanks! ...
For the findings he says - Moderate hourglass deformity and vascular blush are noted in the median nerve.
I cannot find out what vascular blush is, but it's pretty clear he is saying that, but cannot find it to confirm.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks ...
I have a doc who sounds like he is saying "YEOMAN'S 7th cranial nerve palsy." He has used it before. I cannot figure it out or find it (all I come up with is Bell's, and that is not what he is saying) and it has never been corrected on feedback, so apparently the editors don't know it, either. He has a strong middle eastern accent so this may be throwing me off. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you. ...
