...asking yourself a few questions that can help.
For example: You're looking at the cervix (visualize with me), there isn't much in the way of structure in the cervix, so your choices are limited. You've got a clue in the dictation--orifice. What is the orifice called? "Os." Sounds like you've got a doc that belches his way through the term, but the only logical choice for this particular term would be os.
Isn't transcription fun?!

If that measurement is correct, 0.45 mm, it sounds to me like the diameter of a WIRE not a plate...without more info, I can't think of anything that would fit here.

stumped on this one
Subject: stumped on this one
She is noted to have a 3cm red mass just posterior to the arytenoid cartilage at the esophageal inlet When she swallows this mass disappears into the esophageal inlet and then about 5 seconds later it protrudes back up behind the arytenoid cartilages. It gives the appearance of an air filled esophageal mucosal sac.
The patient brought with her a lateral x-ray of the neck which shows the s/l prevacubital space is very widened in the retrolaryngeal region.
Any suggestions?

Her weight is also the same as last time. Pacemaker interrogation confirmed the patient indeed had recurrent nonsustained VT and appropriate intrinsic VT not due to pacemaker. The (same s/l) trend was also increasing over the threshold.
