Go to google.com and type in "suntuf." You will get 8900 hits. See if any of those look like a medical word to you.

If not, then you have almost done your due diligence in terms of searching on your own.

Now, open up your reference books (of which you should have several), and pour through them, looking for something that makes sense in the context of the patient's visit and history. If you find nothing, then you have almost completed the due diligence for which you're responsible before you ask for help.

Now, go to Google and type in all of the words you think it sounds like. If none of those come up as medical terms (on reputable sites) that make sense in the patient's history and reason for visit, and sound exactly like what the doctor is saying, you have completed the due diligence you're responsible for in order to post here with your question.

Please, only post your question once. You may follow up to replies on that one post, but do not continue to post the same question as separate threads. If no one answers your question to your liking, it is time to either ask your supervisor or leave a blank. Repeating the same question over and over will not lead to an answer - it will lead to the frustration of people trying to help you.

If this is a term the doctor says repeatedly, you need to ask your supervisor for examples of that doctor's report. In it, you will most likely find exactly what you're looking for, and you will also have samples for further questions you may have.

If not, leave a blank and ask whomever QAs your work for the answer to your blank.

The word help board is not here to type your reports for you. It is here after you have exhausted all other means of finding an answer. Otherwise, it not only appears as if you're taking the help of others for granted, you're expecting someone else to do your work for you.

Good luck finding the words you're looking for. I'm sure we're all curious to hear what the real phrase was, once you are given the answer to your blank. Please keep us updated.

Thanks!

facetious... meaning not very serious drainage OR stretching even further and dare I say a "made up" word such as fascial/facial drainage only with an ous suffix.
