Well, I wondered too, but...SM

It sounded to me as if the doc was saying the clinical picture suggested sleep apnea/COPD, not necessarily that the patient's appearance suggested these things. You know - "It looks to me like this patient has anemia."

Glo - you're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful!

I finally resorted to WAGs myself LOL!

I have ended up leaving a blank there, and I haaaaate doing that, but, given context, I just can't reason out any of my WAGs as being in my comfort zone!

I'll revisit it after another cuppa ;-), and I wondered about malleus too, but can't "make it make sense" in my poor head.

Thank you so much, Jade.

I found a hit on Google where I saw something written like 1, 2, 2, and then I started wondering if there was some special method like the T1N0M0 type of staging? It probably is as simple as 1 to 2, but now I'm all confused and just not sure, and I Google is just not coming through for me on this one.

Subject: absence seizure is pronounced ab-sonz? sm

absence seizure



a seizure characterized by impaired awareness of interaction with, or memory of, ongoing events external or internal to the person; may comprise the following elements: mental confusion, diminished awareness of environment, inability to respond to internal or external stimuli, and amnesia. (The term absence was first used by Louis-Florentin Calmeil (1798–1895) to introduce the concept of epileptic absence for the brief loss of consciousness or confusion seen in epileptic patients.)
