Can anyone give me a clue . .

. . . as to what this might be?  ESL dictation and I can't seem to make out what he's saying.  I THINK I have an idea, but I wanted to run it by some of you ladies (and gentlemen) to see if your ideas are similar.


Sounds like he's saying the following:


Patient doesn't have much cough. Orsh-a-lavasta have a little bit of blood coming out.  (This is on a patient with a trach.)


Any ideas?

"chemotherapy." It makes no sense as there are hundreds of medications (where you would hear dosages) that comprise chemotherapy. Would you rather be corrected by people who are not paid to help you, or would you rather your QA catch a blunder like this? Up to you.

As you know, she is a 48-year-old female who reports that approximately two years ago, while in the Dominican Republic, she began to experience severe lower abdominal bloating and pain.  She was evaluated at a clinic and was felt to have an s/l ill-ee-it and was treated symptomatically.

Subject: A clue.

He just dictated this line:

"The patient was hospitalized for the 10-day portion of the study."

So it must be 10/15, for 10 days in the hospital, and 15 days outpatient. So inpatient would make perfect sense, and I feel better.

Thanks.
