Subject: If you read the first poster's question word for word,sm

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it.  I responded very simply to that.  I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so.  I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus.  This is all correct.  What is your problem.  I was trying to help an MT with correct and verfified medical transcription help, now I know why I stay away from any message boards, always someone who wants a fight.  Whatever.

    that means sensitivity to sound, i.e. like photophobia sensitivity to light?  I just had a doctor use the word "audiophobia" (I am assuming he is meaning sensitivity to sound as in a migraine patient), but I am unable to verify this word?  Anyone got any ideas on this?  Thanx!

    I am in need of reference books and looking at Stedmans Medical and Surgical equipment book. I see the fifth edition is out, that must be the newest edition?

    Also looking at Stedmans Ortho word book, fifth edition but dated 2005. Is this too old to consider purchasing? How do you know when a new edition will be coming out?

    Thanks in advance
    overread vs over-read vs over read
    Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

    OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

    it would seem that the question was asked because you asked so many questions in a row. That normally does not happen unless someone is doing homework or taking a test.
    The poster was asking if she should
    Subject: The poster was asking if she should

    type verbatim. The doc is saying pussy and that is what she should type.

    If you look in the dictionary, there is a definition for pussy which means "full of or resembling pus".

    You can't say "no way is "pussy" correct. You are telling her to alter the sentence and she said it is a verbatim account. It is a word.

    If it is not verbatim, then alter away but you better be careful if you do this a lot.

    Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....
    Subject: Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....

    Hi, CC ...


    I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you regarding "pex", but I have just contacted a GI doctor friend of mine to ask him if he is familiar with the word.  You said that it was used in a sentence with the phrase: "the esophagus was pexed", so I thought that maybe, since he does EGDs, he might be familiar with that word. 


    Once thing I ask ... please ... when you find your answer - and you will - please post it on the board so that we who are just learning surgcal dictation can add it to our repetoire of weird words.  PLEASE?  Thanks, and good luck.  I hope I have an answer for you later this evening, or that someone else does.   Judy H.

    A resident is dictating an H&P which is filled with odd abbreviations and medical slang.  In describing the chest x-ray (the patient has advanced cervical cancer) he says "no goomba".  This is very clear.  Could this be an acronym or abbreviation, perhaps something like GMBA?
