Tricky terms
Subject: Tricky terms
If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as. That's what I used to do. Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.

HELP WITH DERM TERMS!
Subject: HELP WITH DERM TERMS!
I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.
Assessment: Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen. (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:
s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin. She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:
On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface.
I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long. I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!! TIA
