Visual Acuity
Okay, I don't know if this is the right thread to post this, but Doc is saying Visual Acuity right eye 20/nothing, left eye 20/nothing.  How would that be transcribed??  Thanks.

Subject: edentia means loss of teeth but . . . sm

in the context of your sentence doesn't make a whole lotta sense.  I was originally thinking the patient lost dentures from the transfers, admissions, etc., so could not eat well, but the "sounds like" word you give is too similar to edentia.

visual field types
Subject: visual field types

Here are some uncommon ones that might help in the future.  Monocular visual field.   Visual field superior 36 taped-and-untaped (checking for lid droop).   Mac-to-red visual field (macular threshold to red, for patients that use Plaquenil).   Hope this helps.

Subject: At a loss!!

Jeez!  Doc is usually very clear, but this I just can't figure out, but I'm looking to you guys for some help, because I might just be fried...


"She was seen in the emergency room on Thursday for severe headache and possible preictal aura.  She had a brain CT that was unremarkable per report which patient S/L: HAN-DE-LE-RIS today.  Also was given Ativan and Toradol."


I thought maybe "handed to us", but it just doesn't sound like that - at any speed.  If anyone has an idea of what this might be, I would be most appreciative!!  Thanks in advance.


 


Still at a loss
Subject: Still at a loss

It still makes no sense to me ~ if she was already on Flagyl, how could she be switched?  Neither of the drugs you listed (or variations thereof) exist.  There are many antibiotics that sound very similar.  See if you can slow the voice way down.
