I was looking in the Stedman's Orthopedic book, which only lists terms, no details. Salzman wasn't there, so I was looking to see what might sound similar.

I just started using this forum a couple of months ago.  I've been in this business for over 20 years, but still have "those days," (more often than I'd like to admit) and it's nice to know that there are so many knowledgeable, willing-to-help people like you out there - makes "those days" a little easier.

I couldn't resist putting Guess, since that's what I've had plenty of today.  Guess who dictated this report and put in ? maybe the wrong ID?  Or is it Dr. ??, or his/her (seriously, I can't tell) PA, or assistant... 


Okay, I had to gripe.  This is all I get lately.  I have actually broken my own record for finding someone who stutters more than someone I used to work for.  That's a terrible comparison, as everyone loved thiss doc and doc's dictation.


Thanks..

What is up with some of these American doctors and the English language? 


"There was no vegetations". 


"If there is further problems".


I can see it it were an ESL doc.....  They often conjugate their verbs better than their American counterparts.  Funny - the ESL docs can learn the grammar but not how to put the proper emPHAsis on the correct syllABLE.

Neurologic exam/history and physical exam does reveal the patient with parkinsonian features.  We are going to go ahead and change him from Sinemet 25/100 mg to Stalevo 100 mg, one in the morning and one at midday, since he really only takes it twice a day.  If this does not help, we may try going back to the Sinemet and then trying Azilect for the freezing.  I think that may be of great benefit to him, despite the MALB inhibitor.

not sure but I found one paragraph thru google about dacron wool........being used on a patient:


Once cooling to -79 C was complete the patient was lifted out of the Silcool bath, the outer, Silcool wetted plastic bag was stripped off and the patient was placed within a polyester cloth bag which was in turn placed inside a standard aluminum neurocan which had been precooled to -90  and packed with dacron
wool.  Temperature probes were left externalized to the neurocan for subsequent cooling to -196 C.


I don't really think this is going to help you though but I tried!!

Based on the following paragraph written by
Subject: Based on the following paragraph written by

Vanderbilt University in relationship to Troubleshooting PICC problems, in particular; "My patient's arm is red, swollen, and/or painful."
A. How does the arm look in comparison to the arm without a PICC line.
B. If redness is involved, is it a red streak up the arm along the vein tract.
C. If swelling is involved, what is the difference in the girth of the two arms.

Your sound-alike brings to my mind: gorge; as engorged. Definition: gorge, glut; especially: to fill with blood to the point of congestion. Just an educated guess though. Good luck.

This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message
Subject: This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message

If an HIV positive woman is taking AZT then it will probably be recommended that her baby is given AZT (usually as a syrup) for the first six weeks of its life starting 8-12 hours after birth. Alternatively, if the mother has taken AZT and 3TC during labour then an effective regime for the baby would be one week of AZT and 3TC.

If only limited AZT is available then one week of AZT can be given to the baby. If only single dose AZT is available then the baby can have this combined with a single dose of NVP, and if no AZT is available then the baby can have a single dose of NVP to help protect it.

Subject: Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..

Patient here today for a post-op s/l line infection evaluation.  She has been doing daily wet to dry dressing changes and today the wound breadown area is less than a cm across and with probing with a Q-tip will not extend any greater than 2 cm in the area.  I do not think that this continues to require any packing.  I have recommended that she just keep gauze over the area for the drainage.  thank you
