The tear appears to extend into the infraspinatus as well.  I did assess some posterior cuff musculature in the terry’s area.  His anterior cuff looks fine with the subscapularis intact and the biceps centered in the groove.

Atacort for blood pressure? sm
Subject: Atacort for blood pressure? sm

The doctor clearly says Atacort for blood pressure problems and even spells it. He's dictating the history given by the patient. It's a psych report, so not relevant to other areas of the report. I found Atacand, but they don't even sound or look alike.



I'll probably just flag it, but any help would be appreciated.
