Subject: I have sticky notes everywhere with different stages, grades, etc. sm

I think I used to think most stages were roman numerals and most grades were arabic but there are way too many exceptions so I try to figure out which one it is for each specific instance and then write it on my growing list.  BOS says types are arabic, roman numerals, or capital letters depending on type referred to. I WISH there was a website with all of the different stages, grades, types, etc. listed.  Does anyone know of such a thing??

Systolic murmur

Hi! I have a rather simple (I hope) question. I have an ESL that always dictates 2/6 systolic murmur **at LLB and apex**. Is LLB correct? Every time she says this I try to look it up again, but it is a little difficult to search. Thanks for any advice on this!

I would have to hear myself what you are hearing as
"GYN: Morbid hemoglobin, but it's just "Bowel sounds were active throughout." GYN doesn't go at the end of that sentence.

Could you be hearing the next subheading of the exam, possibly
Genitalia: Something or other? Maybe "Genitalia: Normal."

With "hemoglobin" starting the lab section?

ISH is isolated septal hypertrophy, ASH is asymmetric septal hypertrophy, but I doubt these. Maybe she's making a word out of abbreviations, again doubt. I'd leave a blank and flag it unless someone else has an idea. She may have started to say something like "ischemia" but cut herself off. Doubt if she'd say "murmurish." That wouldn't make any sense. I'll keep thinking about it. Please let us know what you find out.
