pedi note ~ pirate's patches? - Lu


Posted: Jan 28, 2010

Doing the physical exam portion of a SOAP note: "...has a sore throat in the morning and she has increased pirate's patches and a little bit of postnasal drip." 

I've never heard this before? Anyone? 

Try Peyer's Maybe - Old MT

See if you think you hear Peyer's patches. You may want to look the definition up just to verify it fits your content.

petechial patches? palatal patches? white patches? - Txczech
