Tricky terms
Subject: Tricky terms

If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as.  That's what I used to do.  Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.

s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:


On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 


I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA
