Subject: Breast or Breath
I can not figure out what the word would be, if anyone could help me it would be great. I am new......
It is an emergency room that a male went to because he had apple stuck in his throat. I have included the sentence before so you might be able to tell what word he would use.
This is it:
There is no strider appreciated. Breath (or breast) sounds are clear and equal bilaterally.

The terms sound similar anyway, and if they say them a little too fast, or there's a flaw in the sound, these words sound exactly the same.
But sometimes there's a clue in what's being tested, blood or urine, and/or the diagnosis.
Also, if you can slow the sound down a little, sometimes you can hear a slight difference, just enough to know it's one or the other.
If that doesn't help, the best thing would be to send on to QA. If they can't figure it out, the docs may become tired of blanks and learn to enunciate more clearly. How difficult could that be!
Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe someone else has a foolproof way to tell.
