patent ductus AND ovalis
The MD probably paused between patent ductus and ovalis, instead of dictating "The patient is status post patent ductus AND ovalis." Ovalis is Latin for Ovale (which is New Latin for Oval), like in "foramen ovale." The MD probably meant the patient had both PDA and PFO corrections done.
Patent ductus arteriosus; foramen ovale - 2 different things.
Arteriosus is with "sus", not "sis".
You can have a patent foramen ovale....Does this help?
Thanks all for your help, but MD stated that the pt is status post patent ductus "ovalis" I l

Patent ovales (nm)
Maybe you should patent that idea :)
The invention would make you a millionaire overnight!
One thing I forgot to mention was one of the "split" keyboards. I used to have one years ago. I think it was called "Microsoft Natural" or something like that. These keyboards take some time getting used to, but they do help the fingers.
You may not have a patent but you do have copyright. SM
You created it. No one can use it or alter it without your written consent. I wouldn't share either.
Brian, you really should design and patent something because
there are a ton of us out there with leg swelling over the years. Bet you could make a fortune.
I agree withj LowlyMT: patent, shotty veins.........
from One Look dictionary:
'patent' as adjective: clearly apparent or obvious to the mind or senses.
I would put a comma too:
patent, shotty veins.
This means that the veins are clearly visible (patent) and shotty (having small nodules), like shotty lymphnodes.'
patent used as an adverb to shotty, this would then be...
patently shotty veins, without a comma.
patent shotty veins vs patency of the shotty veins
They are nit-picking us to death here at work. Granted the dynamics of the job is changing, but the line count we are supposed to attain does not allow for that. They cannot have both a high line count and looking EVERYTHING up on the electronic chart to double check for accuracy.
My question now is....the doctor always says "patent shotty veins". Now with their QA they are telling me it is "patency of the shotty veins". Now I do not feel comfortable changing stuff around. Which is right?
