Subject: short "weird" scope SM

He is definitely saying quote unquote WEIRD, but I think it is someones name and not really the regular Weird.  Anybody ever come across this before.  He is performing and esophagoscopy for Zenker diverticulum.  Any help is appreciated. 


he states:  We then used a short Weird scope.  We were able visualize the party wall etc.  Thanks.

Subject: s/l triple scope

I can't seem to find a good reference to this but it sounds like he's saying "triple scope."  Has anyone heard of this or know if I'm hearing right?  Here's the context.  "The patient continues to have no evidence of disease recurrence from her Stage II head and neck cancer treated with chemotherapy and radiation.  A triple scope will be performed."


Thanks!

Don't laugh, I know it sounds stupid, but the only thing they always look at is the IC valve or appendiceal lumen, but it sounds just like that, the pole of Newman.

I'm doing a Review of Records list, and it says Request for AX to refer PT to a "Psych." I was thinking it meant access, but I don't know if that would make sense. Anybody know what AX stands for in this example? Thanks!


 


P.S. If it's obvious, bear with me, I'm a newbie still. LOL


short example
Subject: short example

All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.

I doubt you could get all that with one keystroke.  I don't have anything with just one key stroke.  You could, however, try something like endx that is 4 strokes, but the whole thing would pop out.  Here is what I do cad = CAD, cadx = coronary artery disease, and so on.
