Posted: Apr 26, 2012
Hello, am having trouble with this sentence. I don't think it's "iron arm", I think it is somthing to do with his iron level though, as further in the report referring back to the admission, iron is mentioned again as elevated above 90. Any ideas? Thanks
What is the full sentence please? - nm

sentence: His s/l "iron arm?" and noticed it to be elevated, and his physician had tried t - Teresa
[ In Reply To ..]Hi. That really is the full sentence. Here is the containing paragraph:
CLINICAL COURSE
This is a 21-year-old gentleman with end-stage renal disease who is dialysis dependent, who came in with a history of bleeding from the right upper extremity for 1 day. His iron??? the day before and noted it to be elevated, and his physician had tried to contact him. He had stopped taking his Coumadin as per his physician̢۪s telephone message, but he developed bleeding overnight for which reason he came to the hospital.
Iron arm - Anonymous
[ In Reply To ..]I also think it is INR. The patient is taking Coumadin and INR levels are one of the things they routinely monitor to adjust the dose.
99.9 percent sure its INR - HemMT

Maybe INR level? - Just guessing

INR? - Teresa
[ In Reply To ..]Yes! That's it. Thanks so much!!
Anytime, Teresa...Glad I could help :-) - Just guessing

Since this physican doesn't know it was me doing the report, I wanted to pass it on so hopefully it'll make someone else's day too. Please no negative comments. I have enough negative (as we all do). Let me just enjoy the thank-you, and even more the appreciatio ...

Associated Or Associative Physician

Just A Message From A Physician

Hello everyone and sorry to intrude. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm a hospitalist physician and I dictate daily. I would say about 10% of my dictations contain a "_______" that needs to be corrected, maybe less...and I am someone who mutters a LOT. So I'm surprised it's not a much higher percentage. And when I hear some of my fellow internationally-born docs dictate, I'm amazed that ANYONE, let alone someone over the phone, would be able to understand what this person i ...
