YES, a made up word...sm

Subject: YES, a made up word...sm

Syncope is a real word meaning a temporary loss of consciousness or faint. "Syncopized, syncopial, syncopizing" are NOT words; edit to had syncope, was syncopal or is experiencing syncope, respectively.

another made up word?
Subject: another made up word?

I have a doc that keeps dictating "dermatomy" when referring to skin incision.  While this makes logical sense to me, I can't find this in any medical dictionary.  Not sure what to put or just flag and bring it to her attention.  Any ideas?

made-up word in hernia repair report?
Subject: made-up word in hernia repair report?

I'm doing an operative report for repair of an incarcerated umbilical hernia, and the doctor says the hernia was dissected free of investing tissues.  The s/l incarsum or incarserum appeared to be preperitoneal fat.  I'm not familiar with this term, and I've attempted to find this through my own research efforts but am coming up empty.

Don't you hate it when you're just sure a word is made up and you look it up only to find that it IS a real word? The other day a doc said conspicuity and I thought, man, if I was going to play with the word conspicuous, I'd go with conspicuosity. I Googled it and sho nuf, conspicuity is a word.
