It is ringing a very vague bell for me, probably back to an ancient MedTerm class. I would be very interested to hear what it is/was.

I'm using the PRAFO, but I'm marking it.  I think he is just having a bad dictation day, or has his dog on his mind - one of the two!!!  (Hopefully it is NOT the dog!)  Thanks for the help!!  ME

FISH [also called fluorescence in situ hybridization]

This is a lab test that measures the amount of a certain gene in cells. It can be used to see if an invasive cancer has too many HER2 (HER TOO) genes. A cancer with too many of these genes is called HER2-positive. If a cancer is HER2-positive, it may respond to Herceptin. (her-SEP-tin) This is a drug that can slow down or stop the growth of cancer with too many HER2 genes.

She is from Canada so may be they do things differently there. Yes, it seems like she knows everything, has an answer for everything, even if it is wrong, as in Lyderm, and there seems to be no stopping her.

I ask a few questions on this board and give some answers, only if I definitely know the answer. I feel it is difficult to do sounds like on this board without hearing the dictation. There is too much guessing going on.
Totally agree, also!
Subject: Totally agree, also!

Should be changed. Medical transcription should not even have strictly verbatim accounts. It's so unprofessional. Most verbatim account contracts I have ever had actually stated verbatim with light editing for grammar/punctuation per the AAMT.

Transient means short-lived, fleeting, coming and going.
Trans is a prefix that means 'across' or 'moving around.' Transglobal amnesia is not remembering anything, regardless of time or context.

just added another doc to the office I work for. He often says per HPI above and it took me until just now what he meant. I know we I was typing a History & Physical but didn't know what the I was for. I feel really really dumb but at least now I know. LOL

Subject: When you get stumped like this try...

...asking yourself a few questions that can help.

For example: You're looking at the cervix (visualize with me), there isn't much in the way of structure in the cervix, so your choices are limited. You've got a clue in the dictation--orifice. What is the orifice called? "Os." Sounds like you've got a doc that belches his way through the term, but the only logical choice for this particular term would be os.

Isn't transcription fun?!

thank you. i was really stumped.

If that measurement is correct, 0.45 mm, it sounds to me like the diameter of a WIRE not a plate...without more info, I can't think of anything that would fit here. I suppose 0.45 mm could be the amount of DISTRACTION created if they're using a plate and screws, but again without more info, i don't know...sorry!
really don't think so--I'm stumped
Subject: really don't think so--I'm stumped

I really don't think he is saying that.  Almost sounds like the word "interpretation" except with a "z"...interprezation.

stumped on this one
Subject: stumped on this one

She is noted to have a 3cm red mass just posterior to the arytenoid cartilage at the esophageal inlet  When she swallows this mass disappears into the esophageal inlet and then about 5 seconds later it protrudes back up behind the arytenoid cartilages.  It gives the appearance of an air filled esophageal mucosal sac.  


 


The patient brought with her a lateral x-ray of the neck which shows the s/l prevacubital space is very widened in the retrolaryngeal region. 


 


Any suggestions?
