Pt had virus. Now has cough that won't go away - sm

Subject: Pt had virus. Now has cough that won't go away - sm

Refilled her ProAir and her Flovent. Will increase strength of Flovent to 110, as she may have some s/l barking spasm.


I know about barking cough, but I've never heard it put this way, as spasm. Has anyone heard of this. I thought he may be saying marked spasm. I've listened to it so many times that I can hear both barking and marked, but when I think I hear marked, it sounds more like mark-ed. Definitely hear 2 syls.

Thanks

It sounds like you have a computer virus. I work out of Word 2003 and have never experienced
Subject: It sounds like you have a computer virus. I work out of Word 2003 and have never experienced

that before.  Do you current up-to-date anti-virus programs on your computer?  You may want to check that out, or better yet, call a computer shop nearby and ask their advice.  Once I had over 70 viruses on my computer, and had to have the entire hard drive wiped out and everything put back in.  Once it gets that infected, you have to basically start over, and it would do really weird things like you are describing.
