Don't you hate it when you're just sure a word is made up and you look it up only to find that it IS a real word? The other day a doc said conspicuity and I thought, man, if I was going to play with the word conspicuous, I'd go with conspicuosity. I Googled it and sho nuf, conspicuity is a word.

Subject: I would make just a few changes -

If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:

1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.

2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).

3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.


Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.

BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?

The company MedicAlert (1 word) has a trademark emblem/bracelet; that is the most common one used. But, there's an org in Canada, Med-Alert, that supplies medical alert bracelets, and another, 911MedAlert, that I found. If any of that helps! :)

Certainly, if there is any kind of stricture or lesion that might improve his nutritional status, this certainly could lead to his improved comfort and increased survival.


The pt has dysphagia and has lost weight, so doc is sending him to an ENT physician.

It would make a lot of sense given that she is elevating her hand. I tried those keywords you gave and still pulling up nothing. However, it really sounds like she is dictating "Carter pillow" but I had never heard of one before so I really wanted to double check. That most likely has to be it but I'm still debating putting a blank. I'll listen a few more times and most likely use that. Thanks so much! :)
