EXAM:  No murmur or gallop noted.  CT scan of the chest done 03/17/2006 revealed a 2.5 cm soft tissue density left of the distal esophagus.  Also a retained catheter fragment in the left lower lobe and (s/l bilinear) fibrosis of the left lower lung.


 


ASSESSMENT



  1. Tobacco use.

Is bilinear correct?

A chest x-ray revealed changes of cystic fibrosis without an **in-fill-i-cal** consolidation, as compared to a previous study.

Some type of liver fibrosis?
Subject: Some type of liver fibrosis?

Of course, the first dictator I get today has to be *thee* worst one in the clinic... at least with my experience. I'm training and I do not want to have another blank against me.

The patient has abnormal liver enzymes, hiatal hernia, mild reactive *something* with the GE junction with focal erosions, and mild antral gastritis with a few erosions and something else I couldn't hear.

WORD I NEED HELP WITH: Sounds like "dumb-it-fans dumb fibrosis." LOL Anyone have ANY idea what he is talking about? Thanks much!

Why I answered the way I did
Subject: Why I answered the way I did

RE: "She did not ask that.
Why don't you answer simply:
The first option is the right one."

***I believe it's better to explain how a thing is derived rather than to simply give an answer, because that way there's a better chance the person can apply the information to a new situation.

"Furthermore, if you add an
'and', THEN you have to enter a comma"

***No.

***WARNING*** Explanation below -- Not just an "answer"!

If "Explanations" cause you extreme discomfort or confusion, do not read further!

The comma rules are based on the structure of a sentence and word order rather than on specific words, so there is not a rule for "as well as."

For instance, if "as well as" is used for an introductory adverb phrase or clause, there would be a comma after that word group because it is out of normal word order:

'As well as I have played, I still cannot score a par round of golf.'

If the phrase or clause is at the end of a sentence, there is no comma because this is normal word order:

'We wanted to find a good tour to take as well as a nice place to have dinner.'

**
Now, the next time you have a problem with the way I explain something, don't be so snippy. No one who is simply trying to help another person should have to deal with someone who needs an attitude adjustment, but then, I suppose no good deed goes unpunished...Just ask nicely & I will be happy to explain. Or deconstruct, as appropriate.
