s/l *epidural bar and broad line * pls sm
Subject: s/l *epidural bar and broad line * pls sm

The canal was narrowed to 7 mm, and the disc osteophyte complex extended 4 mm into the canal.  At C6-7 there was moderate disc space narrowing with broad-based disc osteophyte complex, mild anterior s/l *epidural bar and broad line *central stenosis, a filling defect in the right neural foramen possibly representing a lateral disc protrusion, which would impact the exiting C7 nerve root, and a filling defect extending 7 mm in length x 4 mm.  It was uncertain whether this represented disc or disc osteophyte. 


This doesn't seem to make sense..  Any suggestions here? thanks


hyphens...gait is broad-based?
Subject: hyphens...gait is broad-based?

I am drawing brain farts with hyphens lately.  Just looked at Dr. Grammar.  Still no help.  I know that before a noun, two or more adjectives are hyphenated, as in broad-based gait.  But what about gait is broad-based. ? Are there new rules on hyphenation? Do we always hyphenate heel-to-shin and the like?

In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm
Subject: In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm

Brand names..Avapro, Motrin, Aleve, Bentyl, Rescon, Comtrex, Toradol...easy to pronounce, spelling makes sense, sound like a shiny corporate marketing group named them (which they did).

Generics...celecoxib, lazabemide, dexormaplatin, praziquantel... look and sound like a bunch of syllables randomly thrown together.

With experience you'll recognize the common suffixes of generics...-mide,-cillin, -olone, -xime.

But, really, it's just lots and lots of repetition of seeing, looking up, hearing, and typing them hundreds of times.
Any way you can work it into your spellcheck and/or macro program is the best help you can give yourself.
Brand names are usually shorter

Subject: You know, I think I will just blank it.. (sm if you want!:)

This doc is famous for saying the wrong thing because he dictates while surfing the net.  Actiq is something prescribed in that clinic all the time, and he always mispronounces it "Ak-tik" rather than "Ak-teek" as it should be pronounced, so I bet he said that while thinking something else.  I know that's not right, so I will just leave it blank.  I really wish this guy would pay attention, though! 


(I don't know how many times I have been transcribing and he's hemming and hawing and I hear clicking in the background and then hear, "Hello!  You've got mail!" and I think to myself... "This guy is a neurosurgeon... And he has AOL? Hello?" Ha ha!)


Thanks for trying to help, all! I appreciate your time!

I just can't figure it out.  Each response is a great one but it's just not what he's saying--and I know what he's saying isn't correct!


"Extremities revealed no cyanosis or edema, there are slightly decreased peripheral pulses and dorsalis pedis.  There is good capillary refill and _______ to cultures over both lower extremities.  The patient stayed in the hospital for 16 days."


I hate it when I can't figure out a word!  Again, thanks for the responses, this is a great group!
