Subject: Tonsils 2-3+ bilaterally

The doctors tape is unclear and all I am catching is  the word  ULLS.  The doctor is talking about this in the HEENT part of the report.


She says the ULLS are 2-3+ bilaterally and very ereythematous.


Do you think this might be - The tonsils are 2-3+ bilaterally and very erythematous.


 


Thanks.

Subject: Facial skin rash

Hi all,


I am now in a panic on this one.  I have spent an hour looking for this word.  The patient has the diagnosis of photosensitive allergic dermatitis and only has a rash on the face.  Toward the end of the report the doctor dictates the following: We did discuss _______ but this is not clinically that diagnosis.  The blank sounds like ericiproteous OR a resiprotus.  Thanks for your help and time.
