pus·sy
adj.
Containing or resembling pus.

I agree that pussy is not the most eloquent term used, but if the dictator uses it they obviously don't have a problem with it. If the account is verbatim, type it! If you have QA who get their panties in a wad or think Claudia T. and the AAMT are the LAW, then give them what they want...but it's THEIR issue to overcome...sigh...it's so ridiculous....:)

This was a legitimate question.

I am sorry if it bothers you, but I have a job to perform as do you. 


And Helper had a legitimate problem
with the question. If you provide more context, it is FAR more likely that someone will be able to help you. Just posting some random words doesn't give us much to go on. If you want help, get that chip off your shoulder and MAKE IT EASY for people to help you. Sheesh.

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it.  I responded very simply to that.  I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so.  I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus.  This is all correct.  What is your problem.  I was trying to help an MT with correct and verfified medical transcription help, now I know why I stay away from any message boards, always someone who wants a fight.  Whatever.

Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....
Subject: Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....

Hi, CC ...


I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you regarding "pex", but I have just contacted a GI doctor friend of mine to ask him if he is familiar with the word.  You said that it was used in a sentence with the phrase: "the esophagus was pexed", so I thought that maybe, since he does EGDs, he might be familiar with that word. 


Once thing I ask ... please ... when you find your answer - and you will - please post it on the board so that we who are just learning surgcal dictation can add it to our repetoire of weird words.  PLEASE?  Thanks, and good luck.  I hope I have an answer for you later this evening, or that someone else does.   Judy H.
