any time they spell it you can pretty much count on the spelling to be wrong. guess atleast they make the effort? lol better than the speedy ones who don't care enough to even attempt to make sure you know what they mean.

I have tried every possible spelling of this word, med. dictionary, google, webmd. I can't seem to come up with it.
Sounds like:
Synchrostyberticulum
The context doesn't give much away either.  One is the problem list, one is the past medical history, and one is:
There is a history of ... and he had a PEG placement.
Not even sure if the two go together, LOL, she tends to run her sentences together.
TIA for the help!

If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?" It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.

Pes plano valgus with gastroc constracture, forefoot varus, left side, is correct. Technically, in OP report headings, I was always taught to spell things out like "gsstrocnemius" even if the doc abbreviates because it is a main heading, but it also goes with your account. Hope I have helped!!

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!

It get's used enough, that I think most of us type it, and it will end up in the dictionaries before long. But it is still slang. Somebody has taken the Latin ending and just slapped it onto an English slang word. Doesn't it sound better than "increased numbers of immature, unsegmented neutrophils"?

The dictator says "dip" in the social history (see sentence below). I think this is slang for something but I am so not cool and I'm not sure what it is. My DH thinks it might be chew tobacco?
