intra-articular _____??
Subject: intra-articular _____??

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. 


I'm auditing, so I'm the third set of ears to listen to this and not figure it out... help???

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......

It's true that Dorland's defines that way, but
Subject: It's true that Dorland's defines that way, but

that doesn't mean the surgical excision of a lymph or any blood vessel could not correctly be referred to as a vasectomy. It may not be common, and it may not be the textbook definition, but the term does not have to exclusively apply to the vas deferens. If you were going to refer to the surgical excision of a lymphatic or other general vessel in a single word, what word would you use? Anyway, I'm not arguing whether or not the dictation was accurate, I'm just saying if that is what was truly said and context did not support a more general use of the term, then the real boob is the physician who dictated it, and if that is what he/she said, and it is clear that is what was said, then I would send it through as well and let the physician confront his/her own potential error in proofing the report and correct it then if it truly needs to be corrected. Patient safety is not involved in this case, so if it is an error and the physician does not take the time to do their job and proof read the report and correct it, then the egg is on their face, which is where it belongs anyway.
