In eight years of transcribing ortho, I've never heard this term...

Subject: In eight years of transcribing ortho, I've never heard this term...

Impression:
1. Left de Quervain tendinitis.
2. Left carpal tunnel syndrome.

Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.

Any help is appreciated. :)

spelling "rabbit," or just s/l spelling "R-A-B-B-I-T" - because if that's the case, maybe saying something like "already brought to the step-down unit..." or something like that ??? Just a guess.

That cannot be.  Don't think I'll be changing my ways anytime soon.  Your reference book really says that?  So, a patient would be gravida X, para IX, AB VIII?   Absolutely no way.
