periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?
Subject: periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?

Could you all please tell me what the proper spelling of the above term is? I was under the impression it should be periosteal callus formation, but I got my report back with the correction that it should be periosteal callous formation?

I thought callus was hardened bone or skin and callous was when someone was being insensitive?

Thanks!

To SG re. post below ____ status (psych)
Subject: To SG re. post below ____ status (psych)

Hello again, just read your post on the s/l and that helped me. Here is how some docs break down the different categories of mental status exam--
Mental status exam
-Intellectual functions
A. Sensorium
1. Orientation to ....(person,place, time and situation)

I believe he is stating the word sensorium and I think I would use it because it would apply and that is what it sounds like. Listen for that again later. And here is one link on mental status exam that you could read through (is a powerpoint presentation so just slides, but easy to look at because is concise and brief with just key words) and let me know! Good luck!
