neuro- is a combining form referring to a system of an anatomical part, be it the entire body or the system of specific an anatomical part,

neural -- Relating to any structure composed of nerve cells or their processes, or that on further development will evolve into nerve cells


Since the foramen (foramina-pl) is a specific structure, the combining form would be incorrect.

but it DOES depend on the client profile/preference like the other poster said.....I get this format all the time in REAL consult reports (not letters) and I just type *Dear Dr. Smith* - I have just seen your patient....blah blah (can usually go under reason for consult or HPI) and then do my headings as dictated.

hardcore verbatim you have to leave it as is, whether it looks ugly or not.  I know, I really don't like it when they abbreviate left and right, leave words off sentence structures so they can speak faster and get it over with.

Please let me know.  I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.   Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.


Thanks!

I've spent too much time on it as it is.  I'm overly tired and grumpy anyway from getting up to pee every hour for the last several nights from my own urinary issues.  The NP said I'd have relief today.  What an a**hole.  I'm in so much pain.  He insists it could not be a kidney stone yet I'm peeing massive amounts of blood and blood clots.  I've had a hyster so I know it's not coming from there.  I don't usually wish things on people but I'm so grumpy from lack of sleep and in so much pain right now, I hope he gets one this bad.  Curses!

She says: Upper extremity, right, and rigidity with bright red ***ek-I-nas-ia**.


This is in PE, and she is usually quick with this section and doesn't explain much, so I have nothing else to go off of. This is a geriatric medicine note. Also, it's pretty much verbatim, so this is what is said.


Thanks!

I figure cc is used in a syringe sm
Subject: I figure cc is used in a syringe sm

and mL is liquid can be given through a syringe minus the needle orally.  You will also see this on the measuring cup on top of cough medicine.  cc and mL are measurements equal in quantity.  5 mL = 1 tsp or 5 cc = 1 tsp.  I think the dangerous abbreviations are more for handwritten notes as opposed to transcription.   JMO.
