palpable peripheral edema - when you said *pulp* I realized they sometimes use *palp* - as in palpable (but usually they say *palp* in regards to blood pressure)


Think maybe it's palpable peripheral edema?

Here's one for you guys with years under your belts...I hear this one all the time: "A __ cm hardware was trialed."  To my knowledge, "trialed" is not a legit word.  Am I wrong here?  Is this another doc-ism?  I can Google it and find it but it's not in any of my surgical dictionaries.  What do you do in these situations?

No Suboxone either. What a horrid report. Thank you so much for trying to help. Maybe I can just get nailed by QA again. I got critical feedback for misspelling a word that does not even exist yesterday. The doc said it, I spelled it and put a hyphen in between "dis" and the rest of the word, and QA wanted no hyphen. I can't do ANYTHING right of late (very long story including the mtquestions situation).

Thanks again for trying, though!!

only psych reference book I had. It was the old Stedman's one that had psych and neuro mixed together. HATED that book, LOL.

She was clearly saying "saline walked" rather than saline washed or locked. I think she was distracted (dictating at 3 a.m.) and just threw a wrong word in there, so I left her a blank.
