such as, I end each letter from my doc with "Thank you for the referral of the patient." Sincerely, John R. Brown, MD JEB/trh. I know there must be a way to store this so that all I have to do is strike 1 key to end my letters, but I don't knave a clue how to do this. Anyone have any suggetstions? Thanks

Type up what you want to "quick-type" (including font, color, format--just the way you want it to look when you normally type it in), then highlight it all.  At the top of the Word toolbar, click on "Insert." In the drop-down menu is "AutoText" with an arrow. Go onto the arrow, and there should be another drop-down menu. Click on "New." Write a simple title for it (like "JEB" or "Brown"). From that point on, you should be able to type in the title and AutoText will automatically place this in your work. Let me know if this works for you (I do it all the time--saves my poor fingers!).

I hope you know what I am talking about, It is either word or windows shortcuts?  It vanished...TIA

Anyone heard of osseous cartilagenous OSCAL benign biopsy? 

I am doing podiatric but patient has been having diarrhea and cultures have

been taken.  Under care of infectious disease doctor. Doctor says "may need to consider a napograph or an apograph"

She had a previous gallbladder, which suggested sludge or chololithiasis

I need to figure out the omited word after gallbaldder. Is there 1 specific test done to find gallstones? Ultrasound or endo. doc mentions neither.

Was it electroneurography (ENog) ?

HEENT:  Neck is ___________.  sounds like he's saying brooshy.  Please help!

I hate even asking this question because I'm sure it is something everyone has heard, but lately I have been doing so many oncology and renal reports that I am getting rusty with everything else. 

Doctor mentions a distal radius fracture with "dorsal translation across the pyses of the distal foramen."

I can't find the word pyses.  I know how I spelled it is not correct.  But can someone please help!!?

TIA.

Hi, CC ...

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you regarding "pex", but I have just contacted a GI doctor friend of mine to ask him if he is familiar with the word.  You said that it was used in a sentence with the phrase: "the esophagus was pexed", so I thought that maybe, since he does EGDs, he might be familiar with that word. 

Once thing I ask ... please ... when you find your answer - and you will - please post it on the board so that we who are just learning surgcal dictation can add it to our repetoire of weird words.  PLEASE?  Thanks, and good luck.  I hope I have an answer for you later this evening, or that someone else does.   Judy H.

Impression: pain in right lower quadrant and s/l "fell-ig-ma".

I need some help with this word steterbritus??? This patient has SLE and the doctor has listed this term under past medical history. 

Thanks

Thanks so much. Believe it or not the word is cerebritis. Thanks again for replying

Tammie   

Does this sound right??  - He appears to have a kinetic refractory tumor

Thanks

My guess is the word you are looking for is pili ( hair-like fimbriae).

Thanks so much for your help.
