development of s/l meese aside a seven itch with the radiation therapy
Subject: development of s/l meese aside a seven itch with the radiation therapy

Here's the whole sentence.  This is a patient with rectal cancer.  "Radiation was notably stopped because of the development of a moderate to severe [meese aside a seven itch] with the radiation therapy perirectally."  He went on to say that the patient had recovered from this.  He was having loose bowel movements, but they were being controlled with Imodium.  I'm not sure if the loose bowel movement part was still related to the problem in question or if he was moving on to another problem. 


Alternatively, I could also hear "moose aside a sudden itch", which is funnier, but I think the above one is a little closer.  I thought maybe "meese aside" is some kind of "cyte" or some kind of "site."  I also think it's possible that "a sudden itch" is "associated" just because it would make sense to have associated there, but it doesn't sound that close so I'm not sure.
