I do believe this would be something we can correct with intra-articular (s/l) huts or touch or tuts or hutch, but may require some type of extra-articular osteotomy based on the findings of the long-alignment films.

Subject: I might very well be biliary colic stools. sm

Is this a nephrology or urology patient? Or even a GI patient?

When you have gallbladder problems, liver problems, etc., the stools are usually a different color. They can be clay colored, black, tarry, yellow, green like baby stools, etc. So biliary colic stools could be right.

Extraocular ? dilatation of the adjacent
Subject: Extraocular ? dilatation of the adjacent

lateral ventricle, the doctor states I believe.   But, this does not make sense to me.  However, I am feeling rather stupid today so am probably wrong.  Anyone know if extraocular dilation makes sense?  It is not extraaxial I am fairly certain after listening to him 100 times.

Subject: speaking of recurrent thyroid cancer..so in that area the intra-media-sty-num sm

Interestingly the PET scan revealed minimal FDG uptake in the right thyroid bed consistent with the right anterior tracheal lesion, and also minimal uptake in what is believed to be persistent thymic tissue in the "intra-media-stynum", but nowhere else is it noted.  MRI was reviewed as well.  This confirms a 1.4 cm enlarged lymph node on the right side at the level of C3......

Subject: try this again...s/l fearson or vearson instillations and urethral dilatation

I was offered the suggestion of filiforms or versed earlier today, and neither of those work.  This patient receives these instillations every three months.  I'm think along the lines of BCG instillations, but that is definitely not what the doc says.  No mention of the patient's diagnosis to help
