Hello all...typing for a fast one today!  She is speaking of KD68 androgen.  I cannot make out if it is KD 68 interandrogen or inner androgen.  Any clues? 


Another issue is There is minimal erythema of the incus of the right drum.  However, it doesn't sound like incus...sounds like she is saying enos.  Not stumbling over the dictation, but just doesn't sound like incus.  Thanks!

Subject: Speaking of ears clogged with cerumen, are there

any ENT MTs who know if there is another product, other than Debrox, or Cerumenix (which was by RX only, but discontinued) to remove chronic earwax, other than going to the ENT to have them irrigated and removed with a curette?


I can't seem to find any drug on the market; prescription or otherwise, other than those mentioned above, which were of no benefit.


Your help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

The expression is "I'm at a loss" not "lost." And it should read "Mother deceased at age 71" not "decease." These just might be typos as you're probably in a hurry, but I wanted to be sure you were aware just in case.

In this case, no.
Subject: In this case, no.

The dictator in your example is not giving a specific clinic; the word "a" or "the" is understood.

You will often hear "The patient was seen by Oncology," or "...when Cardiology evaluated the patient." A good rule of thumb is: If you can substitute "Bob," then you DO capitalize. "The patient was seen by Bob." Yes. "The patient was seen by the cardiology service," -- "The patient was seen by the Bob..." No. Get it?

Of course, in MT every rule was made to be broken. This is a rule of thumb, but it always depends on what your hospital's or clinic's guidelines.
