But there is an update on this sm
Subject: But there is an update on this sm

The update is this:

Follow up (2 words) is the verb usage. The pt will follow up in the office next week.

Followup (1 word) as in The pt is here for followup.

Follow-up is when it proceeds a noun, like the compound modifier rule. The pt is here for her follow-up appointment.

It was news to me yesterday, but there it is.

There have been a couple of AAMT BOS2 addendums. They want to do away with q.d. and q.4h. now has to have a space after the q. so it is q. 4h. Pain in the neck all of this...

I flagged this for QA, and they filled in multiple prostatic cystica.
Update on motalakian..
Subject: Update on motalakian..

I found these on further searches:

Tangent screen exam
Automated perimetry exam
Goldmann visual field exam
Humphrey visual field exam

This is not an ESL dictator but I just bet "tularakian" and "motalakian" are some forms of the above visual field testing names that he has said so often that he just runs it all together. The dictation is gone now but I've bookmarked the above, maybe they will help someone else who gets this same strange-sounding garble. Thanks!

This is the first item of a plan of a reasonably healthy but obese female as part of a physical.  It sounds like either anacil or atacil update or may uptake.  Any ideas?

but i think he is abbreviating -- so i would just put it inside quotes as you have it -- as it could refer to too many different things, if that is what he is doing.
and guess what?

depending on what lab you work in, all specs and values are different also. i worked in two different labs so I KNOW

not sure but my guess would be SM
Subject: not sure but my guess would be SM

that the doctor will use a dye or ink of some kind to mark a spot where they remove a polyp or see something, so that they can locate the area more readily on followup.

but thats just a guess. I do rad and pathology and never have done gastroenterology procedure stuff.
I guess you mean that SM
Subject: I guess you mean that SM

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity.  Ostium means opening.  Meatus means opening also.  So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to.   Plus that, there is no such word as ostio. 


I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.

Just guessing here, but first sentence might be uterus normal tone, size and position.  Second sentence - about *____ dilated, should probably be  a number, not "already"  Uterus was sounded to 10 cm.   Sorry, can't help with the next sentence.


Best guess :)
Subject: Best guess :)

You're right on the "marrow" portions, but the only thing I can even hazard a guess at on the morphology is "an echoic." 


Maybe this will help - just saw your post and feel your pain!

I do not know. My guess is rad/cm2, which would be spoken as rad per centimeter squared.

Rad as the unit of radiation, and cm2 as the area of application.

But again, I don't know. Maybe someone can verify or deny that guess.


I don't think so, but I guess it's
Subject: I don't think so, but I guess it's

possible. I think they usually use that for somebody who is depressed or anxious rather than somebody who is losing their memory. I finally sent the report in. Maybe I'll here something back.
