Ain't got nun and ain't gonna get nun...
Subject: Ain't got nun and ain't gonna get nun...

Sorry...excerpt from an old joke I heard at a comedy club in Boston once.


You are hearing it correctly.  Some people will refer to a preist or a nun as "Father" or "Sister" and leave out their name.  I met a priest once (just once) and I referred to him as just "Father" when I thanked him for doing whatever it is he did at my mother's wake.  (Can you tell I'm not religious?)  I didn't know his name or anything, and besides, that's what I heard everyone else around me call him. 


I think the name Mary is just one of those many "good Irish-Catholic names"...kind of like the one I got stuck with but instead bury it with the name "Hayseed."

I don't think there's a way to determine for sure. The fact that "another doctor" said it was ACL doesn't mean that's what they've decided the problem is. On the other hand, he could have switched "ACL" with "LCL" (like they always do right and left, metatarsal/metacarpal, etc.) Don't think there's a way to tell for sure. Sorry!
wanna, gonna, he's
Subject: wanna, gonna, he's

When i first got this account, I expanded contractions. Today I received a memo that I was supposed to type all words verbatim and not to add any extra words. I stopped expanding contractions, but this doctor is saying things like wanna, gonna, he's, there's... and then sometimes says want to, going to, he is, there is...

I feel so silly typing "gonna" and "wanna." Am I right to type these like this?

s/l mark-type pigmentation?
Subject: s/l mark-type pigmentation?

On the physical exam in the category of extremities, the doctor says "The patient has bilateral chronic stasis changes in the lower extremities.  There is associated [s/l mark-type profigmentation] with no edema, erythema or warmth"


I'm assuming the "profigmentation" is maybe pigmentation that he just stumbled on but I'm not positive on that.  The patient was being seen for bilateral lower extremity recurrent cellulitis.


Any ideas?

Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.

Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.

Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.

Ex:

His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).

D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?

Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product

It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets.  Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040


They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.


I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!
