Subject: Cox-Mays Procedure and blank
Given this patient's very large body habitus and his refractory chronic atrial fibrillation, he may be a better candidate for _______ (s/l median sternotomy) and complete Cox-Mays procedure. Got any clues? (I am an ortho pro, but this cardiothoracic and vascular stuff is eating me alive...) TIA!!! Hope everybody is having a good night!

This doc is famous for saying the wrong thing because he dictates while surfing the net. Actiq is something prescribed in that clinic all the time, and he always mispronounces it "Ak-tik" rather than "Ak-teek" as it should be pronounced, so I bet he said that while thinking something else. I know that's not right, so I will just leave it blank. I really wish this guy would pay attention, though!
(I don't know how many times I have been transcribing and he's hemming and hawing and I hear clicking in the background and then hear, "Hello! You've got mail!" and I think to myself... "This guy is a neurosurgeon... And he has AOL? Hello?" Ha ha!)
Thanks for trying to help, all! I appreciate your time!

I just can't figure it out. Each response is a great one but it's just not what he's saying--and I know what he's saying isn't correct!
"Extremities revealed no cyanosis or edema, there are slightly decreased peripheral pulses and dorsalis pedis. There is good capillary refill and _______ to cultures over both lower extremities. The patient stayed in the hospital for 16 days."
I hate it when I can't figure out a word! Again, thanks for the responses, this is a great group!

If a doctor can't take the time to spell something like that, which is not a medical term and not something you would be expected to know, then they deserve to fill in the blank themselves.
