s/l "fomodynia or phomodynia" related to chest exam - nicole


Posted: Jun 16, 2011

"The patient denies chest pain or s/l fomodynia/phomodynia." I'm thinking this should be easy because of the "dynia," but I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks.

Could it be phrenodynia? Pain in the diaphragm. - Teardrop

I wondered about that too - nicole

Phrenodynia was the only thing I could even remotely find, and it really makes sense with this patient with hypoxia and COPD and asthma problems and chest tightness, but there is definitely an "M" sound to this word. This dictator often does sort of wander when she dictates, so you're probably right about phrenodynia, but I guess I'd better be safe than sorry and leave a blank. At least I know there isn't a common term with an "m" sound for this type of things. Thanks for responding.

MOT Related To Bankruptcy?
May 12, 2015

It's been my experience that when there's a deluge of work all at once to be finished up, it's because the hospital/company is about to switch gears, with the MT suffering the most.  I'm not financial savvy, but I wonder if this latest MOT stuff is related to the recent bankruptcy, that possibly the reserve money to pay the MTs is running out, so the company is about to go under or sell out.  Something's up for sure. ...

I've been in healthcare documentation for over 7 years. The well is drying up, it seems that almost nobody is hiring, and the ones that are want the whole class to be as good as the valedictorian, if you know what I mean (and the medical industry as a whole seems bound and determined to destroy employee rights). Can my experience get me something in legal transcription or something else more stable? I can't afford more schooling, I got bills to pay. ...

Need To Vent (computer Chair Related)

My computer chair tore up, so I needed to get a new one. I tried some out at the store and got a cushy one. After I put it together and sat in it for 30 minutes, I had severe pain. It felt like my whole body went numb and tingly. So I had to take it back. I got a second chair and can tell it's not going to be comfortable and that I will need to take it back. I'm sick, tired, and frustrated about this. Not at the stores or the people that work there, because it's not their fault ( ...

Suggestion To Aid With Income-related Discussions.
Aug 10, 2012

I've noticed that we need some sort of standard reference or metric to use when we talk about income-related issues, and this metric should not merely reference dollars (or cents), but should relate this to <i>a unit of time</i>.  At the end of the day, it's how much you earned per unit of time that really matters, and this the only sort of metric that takes into account all of the variables that a mere monetary reference such as "line rate" does not. The line rate pa ...
