he says this five times and is so mush-mouthed


The first three times he says it while discussing x-rays and CTs. This shows a compression fracture of L3 with compression of the superior endplate with **Meth-in-fac-late** present within the body, all contained within the body itself. 


Under impression:  History of a compression fracture with treatment of the meth-in-fac-late at the L3 vertebral body.


Under plan: Pedicle screws could not be placed into the pedicles of L3 because of the meth-in-fac-late


 


Thank you!!!

I'm dealing with a doctor today with SEVERE laryngitis. This is torture.
