Can anyone suggest the best way to decipher a dictator who is a mumbler or speaks very fast.  I have changed the speed and listen over and over and still can't figure it out.  Wish there was a magic dicipher machine.

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.

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."
