It now makes me feel less dense that no one else can understand it.


He is definetly putting a K or Q sound on the beginning and I have put cool and strong & have not got any feed back yet.


I love this doc otherwise, the dream dictator..always very clear (except for that) dictates in same order, to the point where I have a standard for his whole reports, very considerate, spells the hard ones, but he uses some very old fashion terminology at times,


again thank you all for your time and I'll let you know if I finally figure it out...have a safe holiday

Thanks for the replies, but I do know what a Phalen test is.  This would not apply to this because this was the actual diagnosis.  I actually did figure out the answer, it is a distal phalanx felon.

thank you for your replies - suspect
Subject: thank you for your replies - suspect

this is another case of a doctor thinking he knows it all and spelling it incorrectly - he never did state the term, he just spelled it, which makes me suspect he does not know HOW to pronounce it! I painfully put what he dictated and will let him worry about it! Thanks again!

The patient went ahead and took something for the UTI, causing partial clearing of the urine, so the results of the UA are skewed.

Subject: I would leave it as he said. He knows what it means...sm

TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.

I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.

Hope this helps

It's BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure; CPAP is continuous positive airway pressure) ... look in your Stedman's Pulmonary/Cardiology book.
