Somulent. Every medical Transcriptionist knows that term. Doctors, not so much.

The patient was somnoulent. He said it 3 times. I thought, if he says that one more time!!. and then he said it again.

I wanted to get on a plane, fly to Los Angeles, smack him, then fly back home to New York.

somnomulent. ick. At least I understand the English language.
