s/l sicklean stroke - Tina

Posted: Nov 29, 2011

I'm transcribing a report and it s/l sicklean/sickleanian stroke. The patient has hemoglobin SC disease with possible OSA so I was thinking maybe he is saying sickle anemia stroke but it doesn't quite match what I am hearing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe mispronouncing ischemic? - nm

...it sounds to me like your doctor is making up a word, just like you typed it. It would depend on whether you're transcribing verbatim or not as to what you would transcribe. If verbatim, I might transcribe "Sicklean" stroke with quotes, but otherwise I think you're safe to transcribe stroke of sickle cell anemia.

Thank you both - Tina

I found the word sicklemia and believe that is what he is saying. It all sounds so much alike, it is hard to differentiate sometimes. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to help me on this one!

At least we're needed for something. ...

Deposition of a neurologist on a stroke case. Here's the Question and Answer: Q. But you're looking for symptoms, you're looking for condition of other vessels to see if you can find out where this is coming from, correct? A. Well, I think that if you get an MRI scan and you see the basilar and proximal vertebral arteries, you're happy in your own mind that there is no disease in those vessels. And that's where most of the sub ...
