It's prob a doc back-forming hemangioma into a word - hemangiated; assuming he might mean that it has vascularized and or taken on the appearance/characteristics of a hemangioma. I would have flagged it though; let your QA deal with doc's made-up words.

my 2 cents.....sm
Subject: my 2 cents.....sm

A hyphen may be used after non- but is generally used when the base word begins with a capital letter. Generally, though, as long as the base word does not have special meaning; the word is understood if non is not used before the base word, then no hypen. Since the base word "dominant" is understood without the "non", then no hypen is necessary.....hope this makes sense.

10 cents per 65-char line
Subject: 10 cents per 65-char line

Hello all!  I will soon be signing a new contract with the company I have been with for three years plus.  I like them very much.  I read on some of the other boards and saw all the negative reports about so much, but I can't say that I have that with my company.  For the most part, I have as much work as I want.  I can have any one of 50 doctors out of  a university's surgical department.  It covers areas from head to toe.  No foreign guys.  The worst I have to put up with is sometimes fast speakers.  I have no problem getting off whenever I need to, just say I'm not available for these days.  I try to treat that with respect.  The pay is 10 cents per 65-character line.  No extra pay for stat work but there is not much stat work.  Any feedback?

bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
Subject: bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth

In Dorland's "reflection" means a bending or turning back.  I have typed the expression often and am not truly sure how to explain it, but something like where the bladder is bent or folded onto the abdominal wall - as a location.   Below is an excert from Google.  What comes up in the notes I have is the following expression:


The anterior leaflet of the broad ligament on both sides was then incised along the bladder reflection to the midline from both sides and the bladder was gently dissected


The reflection of bladder on to the anterior abdominal wall is identified and the peritoneum divided at this position

"D: IMPRESSION:  Occipital neuralgia probable acute gastroenteritis"


question: how will I transcribe that? coz Occipital neuralgia is not related to "probable acute gastroenteritis" isn't it? or possibly there was a 2 impression. one, is occipital neuralgia and secondly, acute gastroenteritis?... What's the meaning by the dictator?

but I found several links referring to Salbetol as a brand name for albuterol in India, also other various close spelling for other countries.  Probably not what you were looking for, but I thought it was interesting and put one of the links here.  Nothing much better to do on a Friday night than read the word board, I guess, but I have to say is educational!  Can't believe how some of you guys pull this stuff out from the mumbo-jumbo!
