absence seizure
a seizure characterized by impaired awareness of interaction with, or memory of, ongoing events external or internal to the person; may comprise the following elements: mental confusion, diminished awareness of environment, inability to respond to internal or external stimuli, and amnesia. (The term absence was first used by Louis-Florentin Calmeil (1798–1895) to introduce the concept of epileptic absence for the brief loss of consciousness or confusion seen in epileptic patients.)

in ROS dr is saying "ROS is remarkable for absence of morning stiffness, otherwise comprehensive ROS is unremarkable." He also uses it in the next patient. To me (because of their arthritis problems) it would seem it should be another word. What do you think??? Thanks!

The patient has a s/l Hartman seizure? with colostomy closure. Not sure if the seizure part is right either actually. I'm helping out a coworker who is on vacation and this is an ESL I'm not used to. TIA.

Got a doc here that sounds like he's saying gee-eff-satia disorder. He's a very heavy ESL and I can't understand him for the life of me.
Any suggestions?
