I was gonna guess transit of barium
Subject: I was gonna guess transit of barium

but transudated fits definition-wise. I mostly hear transit in terms of things moving throug the bowel.

Thanks for your input. I put "fistula, extravasation" in the end. Glad you agree.

Ain't got nun and ain't gonna get nun...
Subject: Ain't got nun and ain't gonna get nun...

Sorry...excerpt from an old joke I heard at a comedy club in Boston once.

You are hearing it correctly. Some people will refer to a preist or a nun as "Father" or "Sister" and leave out their name. I met a priest once (just once) and I referred to him as just "Father" when I thanked him for doing whatever it is he did at my mother's wake. (Can you tell I'm not religious?) I didn't know his name or anything, and besides, that's what I heard everyone else around me call him.

I think the name Mary is just one of those many "good Irish-Catholic names"...kind of like the one I got stuck with but instead bury it with the name "Hayseed."

I don't think there's a way to determine for sure. The fact that "another doctor" said it was ACL doesn't mean that's what they've decided the problem is. On the other hand, he could have switched "ACL" with "LCL" (like they always do right and left, metatarsal/metacarpal, etc.) Don't think there's a way to tell for sure. Sorry!

When i first got this account, I expanded contractions. Today I received a memo that I was supposed to type all words verbatim and not to add any extra words. I stopped expanding contractions, but this doctor is saying things like wanna, gonna, he's, there's... and then sometimes says want to, going to, he is, there is...

I feel so silly typing "gonna" and "wanna." Am I right to type these like this?

Hmm..could be..I'm gonna have to flag it. Thx.

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product

It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets. Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040

They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.

I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!

but i think he is abbreviating -- so i would just put it inside quotes as you have it -- as it could refer to too many different things, if that is what he is doing.

I have never had a doc dictate it, but a list I obtained several years back from MT Desk that lists lots of "normal" physical exam phrases lists, under HEENT, flattening of the (left/right) nasolabial fold . . . maybe?

that the doctor will use a dye or ink of some kind to mark a spot where they remove a polyp or see something, so that they can locate the area more readily on followup.

but thats just a guess. I do rad and pathology and never have done gastroenterology procedure stuff.

I guess you mean that SM
Subject: I guess you mean that SM

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity. Ostium means opening. Meatus means opening also. So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to. Plus that, there is no such word as ostio.

I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.

Just guessing here, but first sentence might be uterus normal tone, size and position. Second sentence - about *____ dilated, should probably be a number, not "already" Uterus was sounded to 10 cm. Sorry, can't help with the next sentence.

You're right on the "marrow" portions, but the only thing I can even hazard a guess at on the morphology is "an echoic."
