superior vena cava/pulmonary artery or arteries
I have a problem hearing if this is artery or arterIES(pleural). From my limited knowledge it would be artery, but does somebody know if a pulmonary homograft will connect the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery-- or it is arteries? Same with the Glenn shunt that goes from the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery or arterIES? I cannot hear the doc clearly and it sounds like it might be arteries. thanks,

Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites

You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.

The girl that worked in my office who did transcription before I started used to type port hole instead of portal.  It looked really funny in the transcription.  For some reason, the docs never corrected her though!!!

Dictated: X-ray exam of the hip shows good callus around inferior and superior ___ fracture. 


Possibly sounds like he could be dictating a fracture that starts with an r or something that ends with an ate.  Dictates this particular fracture a couple times and this is all I can get out of it.
