Viagra for women with SOB?
Subject: Viagra for women with SOB?

It sure sounds like he's saying Viagra, although he is pronouncing it Vee-aygra.  I do see a few things about Viagra for CHF but not really in women.  Thank you.

Subject: Maybe Sildenafil (Viagra)...RxList shows...

that this can also be used for PAH, which makes sense for the text you posted. Re-listen and see if you hear that. Otherwise, I would leave it blank. 


I'm not sure if you're a new MT or not (and I don't want to seem condescending if you're not) but just in case you are, I found this by:


1) Googled 'pulmonary hypertension treatment'
2) 'Sildenafil' grabbed my eye as having the essential sounds that the mushmouth used (LOL)
3) I looked up Sildenafil on the RxList.com medication site to be sure it was used
4) Again, I highly suggest you re-listen to the dictation and be sure that you hear 'Sildenafil'. .


(PLUS, I also learned something new today...that Viagra has other uses -- I absolutely love learning something new).

Subject: meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg

Suddenly Im very confused - I have always typed it as taken at q.h.s. but now the doc says to be taken AC and HS.  Is this typed capital letters per my Abbreviations book or a.c. and h.s.?  I have the same problem with a.m. and p.m.   I assume there is a rule about this but not sure what the latest would be.  This is a new doc and I normally do not type meds so I am rusted. Thanks in advance.

Zometa prescribed for insomnia?
Subject: Zometa prescribed for insomnia?

Sounds like they are stating either "Zometa" or "someta" to be prescribed for insomnia.  I can't find anything on someta (or anything close to that spelling) and Zometa looks like it is for bone health and can cause insomnia but probably isn't prescribed to prevent insomnia.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.

Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!
