The patient has not had any coronary revascularization or evaluation ever.  He does not have any clinical predictors.  He has good s/l  mets?????? greater than 4.  The patient can go to the operating room with minimal cardiac risk.  The doc is spelling the sounds like.  Thanks

Exercise & Cardiology

Bony metastasis treatment:

s/l dometa 4 mg IV piggyback every 4 weeks

Any advice will be appreciated.

In many reports, I have heard doctors dictate "mets," which I would like to expand when necessary but sometimes am just not sure if singular or pleural expansion applies, e.g., "He has mets to the pelvis," (and then later on dictates) "He is thought to have probable liver mets."  So, would each example I gave be expanded as metastasis or metastases, since there's more than one location of spread but each area of the body is dictated separately? 

Says "MRI showed decrease in size of ?_____? brain metastasis with less edema."  Can't find in references or google with varied spellings so maybe way off!!

Abdomen: There is a well-healed scar in the right lower corner or coron at McBurney's point.

I can't tell specifically he's saying. Which one sounds correct? Thanks as always for the help. You guys are great!

Patient has a stenotic superior mesenteric artery.  Doctor is giving the findings of the CTA and says, with no pauses:  "She has findings suggestive of progression of a high-grade approximately 80-90% stenosis of the proximal 1 cm of the SMA cascade collaterals."  I cannot find "SMA cascade collaterals".  Should there be anything between SMA and cascade collaterals like a comma or something.  (Doc always uses fragments, not complete sentences, so it's not easy to separate things)  Anyone heard of this?  Thanks very much!

This is a death summary. 

Whole sentence: She had s/l doy abdomen,  mild pneumonia, and CAT scan nonspecific from free-air, obvious abdominal catastrophe, but she was treated with Zosyn antibiotics in surgical consultation, as well as respiratory consultations for ventilatory management. This sentence does not make sense!?! 

s/l "the PICC was created" or "the tic was created"

ABDOMEN: Normal bowel sounds, soft, nondistended. On the tip of the ___ nontender. Sounds like he is saying tip of the neck. Is that possible?

I am in the abdominal part of the exam.  She says

She has a negative obturator and negative s/l salaside- plus she is coughing through the whole thing.

Thanks

The abdomen has positive bowel sounds in all four quadrants.  No evidence of borvorignus?

ABDOMEN:  Soft, tender and redness on the left side of the patient's abdominal wall during examination.  The patient expressed feculent material coming from the ORIF incision site, along with air.

I have never heard of ORIF referring to the abdomen.  Any idea what else thise could be
