Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm
Subject: Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm

but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue.  I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget.  I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term.  Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days!  Glad we could help you! 
s/l fluid exercise program sm
Subject: s/l fluid exercise program sm

His MRI arthrogram unfortunately has showed a fair amount of arthrosis. He has been read as having a superior labrale tear, but I think this is likely a normal sulcus.

TREATMENT/PLAN: I am going to put him on some meloxicam. We will see how this affects his osteoarthritis of the hip, and I will see him back as needed. We have talked also about using cushion-soled shoes, s/l fluid exercise program with a non-resistive stationary bike and swelling or the like.

How about a flexible exercise program...also

you might want to change labrale to labral and instead of swelling, possibly swimming as part of the exercises?  Maybe re-listen again and see if you hear this.

Rescheduling of Continuing Education program
To everyone in "Bang for the Buck" class, I am rescheduling Lea Sims.  She notified Tina that she is unable to get online due to weather problems.  She feels she might not be ready by Monday, and Tuesday is "iffy." 

 

With Emily out there, she might knock out our Texans and Louisiana participants if Lea would get back for this weekend, as scheduled; however, I will try to reschedule Lea in ASAP for this same class.  It may be August

Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.

Substituting blood pressure with BP when it is dictated as "blood pressure" is not acceptable.  That would be considered an error. Why would you use an acronym when it is not dictated as one?  Every extra character helps.
