It is under the impression. He states:
1. Hypercholesterolemia. We will trial the patient on ??. I know I hear "asa" at the end. The patient has had trouble with statins, and he says he will wait until a new drug comes around. So I am not sure if this is actually a medication or some kind of supplement.

but if the doctor dictates "hypercholesterol", then I would type what he says.  They make up words all the time, and I would type it as one word.

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it.  I responded very simply to that.  I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so.  I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus.  This is all correct.  What is your problem.  I was trying to help an MT with correct and verfified medical transcription help, now I know why I stay away from any message boards, always someone who wants a fight.  Whatever.

Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....
Subject: Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....

Hi, CC ...


I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you regarding "pex", but I have just contacted a GI doctor friend of mine to ask him if he is familiar with the word.  You said that it was used in a sentence with the phrase: "the esophagus was pexed", so I thought that maybe, since he does EGDs, he might be familiar with that word. 


Once thing I ask ... please ... when you find your answer - and you will - please post it on the board so that we who are just learning surgcal dictation can add it to our repetoire of weird words.  PLEASE?  Thanks, and good luck.  I hope I have an answer for you later this evening, or that someone else does.   Judy H.
