I have entered "pama" as my shortcut for parotid mass; but also I transcribe the phrase "palpable mass", and would logically use "pama" for that. What is a good way in general to handle phrases that would use the same shortcut? Also, specifically for these two phrases, what would you use? I would like to be consistent so the shortcuts are easy to remember. Thanks for your input- ...
Doctor says, "There were some pre-masses within the liver which had the appearance of focal nodular hyperplasia."
Is the term "pre-masses" a correct term. I can't find it anywhere. ...
Should "2-cm" be hyphenated? I know if it was just 2-cm mass it would be. In this case, 4 x 2 x 2 is still describing "mass" but it does not look right this way 4 x 2 x 2-cm mass.
Ugh, it should still be hyphenated, huh? Anyone? ...
Look how "excited" we are Nuance. Transparent? Nope, not even to somebody with a calculus degree. Your insult to our intelligence is the final slap in the face. Let the Indians do it. OH WAIT, that was your intention all along. Good luck with that, karma's about to bite you good. ...
Anyone else feel this way??? They come up with this majorly confusing way of "compensation" for us and have known all along a) we would not like it and b) the majority of us would not be receiving it, so their wish is coming true. Pretty soon they will have all Indians doing their work. I am giving it to end of January and then I am outta here too. Can't handle the stress of this new plan. Honestly liked the old way better, at least if I got the incentive I knew it w ...
It was explained to the patient that if in the future this should become painful, bothersome or if it becomes s/l systetically unpleasing to him, we could resect the osteophyte. Definitely does not sound like cosmetically. Thanks for any help ...
The patient does have a past medical history pertinent for having a right aortic arch with an anomalous left subclavian artery and a possible ligamentum resulting in a possible vascular ring.

I am doing a report on a surveillance cystoscopy and bladder washings.
The doctor says: Bimanual exam shows no mass, (___), or fixation though she does have a grade 2-3 rectocele and grade 1 cystocele.
It s/l the word starts with a "g." Sort of like generous or genitous?
Any ideas?
Thanks so much. ...
Just have to vent a little before I go insane. I'm happy with the current company I'm working for but OMG enough with the constant mass e-mails all day long already! They copy everybody on everything and it's such a nuisance...can't get into the "zone" at all this way.
I want to close down my outlook but can't because we have to be on the lookout for stats...okay...that felt good....back to work and stupid e-mails that do not pertain to me... ...
Doctor dictates 3 times under PROCEDURES what sounds like "Lidocation of deep skin mass." It's not "lidocation." Any thoughts?
I'm just losing my mind here. Aaarrrgghhhh

Thanks for your help! ...
