a specific term to quantify the patient's well being, "performance with" doesn't mean the same thing.

Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative. Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him. He denies hearing any voices.....
Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example. Any input?

This was a high-grade intraductal carcinoma of the breast with focal s/l chromenonecrosis.

osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?
Subject: osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?
The whole sentence reads thusly:
The patient also underwent bone scan, this being significant for an area of intense [s/l focal bony labeling] involving the lateral epicondyle of the right femur in an individual without history of trauma, and given his history of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, it was felt that this might be reflective of osteonecrosis including "osteochondritis desiccans."
Thanks in advance for any help.

In assessment if dictates DNR-how would you transcribe that? I know I have to expand, but would I capitalize it or just leave it do not resuscitate?
Status
Subject: Status
No, I said status means "with." Replace the word "status" with the word "with" since they mean the same thing and then you don't need a comma. :-)
Status
Subject: Status
Maybe you're getting a different vibe from the doc than I would. I would think that he meant decreasing performance in say- his activity level. If he meant decreasing performance status, he would actually be saying "decreasing performance condition." Really doesn't make much sense, even for an ESL, while a lot of them do put the noun before the adjective. :-) Status usually means at the present time where status post means the time afterwards. I wouldn't think he meant "decreasing performance status" meaning the condition of decreasing performance but rather "decreasing performance" with nausea, diarrhea, etc. It doesn't seem necessary for him to add the word "status" after "performance, where "decreasing performance," status, i.e, conditions of nausea, diarrhea, etc. would be necessary. But, the doc's ESL, so who really knows. :-)

Status post

I have never seen/used a hyphen either. I guess it also depends upon what the doctor wants. I have one doctor where I use a hyphen in follow-up no matter what, and I know that is not "correct" just they way he wants it.

he presented to my office with s/l; decreasing performance status nausea, diarrhea
If this is decreasing performance status is there any punctuation following?
This is also an ESL
Thanks
Performance status
Subject: Performance status
Since the word "status" means "with" the sentence would read, decreasing performance with nausea, diarrhea.... You wouldn't put a comma before with. It would be bad grammar, IMHO. :-)
Comma after status.

Subject: You must be talking about employee status...
because I agree with the other poster... I make 2-3 times the amount as an IC paid by the line as I would hourly... Thank God I still have the job. However, my mom did the same thing but just recently went to employee status because she needed the health benefits as her and my father were both self employed.... so it just depends on your situation I think!
