lesions which may be "red herring" - hb


Posted: Jul 18, 2010

The doc says, "The ultrasound of the liver shows some lesions which may be s/l red herring"  Is this what it is and is this how it should be spelled? 

It's a "real world" term - Oracle

A red herring is something of a feint; it leads you looking in a direction different from the one you should be looking in...so it would be lesions that don't have anything to do with the patient's current problem.

"There Are No Erythema Or Satellite Lesions"
Jun 17, 2011

The person I work for told me I made an error in grammar and that it should read: "There are no erythema or satellite lesions."  I do not see any way this could be correct. I think it should probably say "There is no erythema, and there are no satellite lesions."  Any comments? ...
