It was almost midnight last night and my Stedman book lists about 15 "M" signs. I was hoping someone could help narrow the search, and yes, of course, I would look up any definition before using it. I sent it to QA due to the late hour. I'll have more time to devote to it today.
Thanks!

Thank you all for your suggestions . . .
Subject: Thank you all for your suggestions . . .

and it still may be what he is saying, but as you guys mentioned, rather than 'maneuver' it is usually followed by either 'sign' or 'test'. It really sounds like Dover's (or 'there was'), so I am just not sure.

Thanks again for the thoughts.

did not work.  I wound up for a second losing sound through my headphones.  I'll try again when I have a little time to spare.  It is actually just this one particular doc I have to turn up, so usually it is not really a big deal, but man, is it loud for this guy.  I cannot seem to locate the spellcheck under your second suggestion.  Thanks so much for replying.  I really appreciate it.

Darnit.  He speaks English very plainly, so unless there is a skip on the tape or something, I have no idea.  I think I'm going to have to leave a blank this time.  There is no mention of this diagnosis anywhere else in the report either.  I wonder if QA will be able to get it.

Subject: wasn't trying to be rude, just the suggestions--sm

given had absolutely nothing to do with the low back, which she specifically mentioned in her post. Not all MTs are way off in what they are asking about or looking for and some of these suggestions that have nothing to do with their requests can be very misleading, as well. JMO and again, not meant to be rude.

with the word impingement, however. Impingement of a walker, leg brace or artificial knee joint does not make sense if it's a hip, as the sites I found suggest. The sites I found suggest it is another name for a specific part of the femoral head.
that is what I was thinking but wanted to see if anyone else had any other suggestions. Thanks.

suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive
Subject: suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive

This is dictated in a neuro operative report on a patient with Parkinson disease.  The doctor is doing insertion of bilateral deep brain stimulators:


Macro stimulation using 0 negative 3 positive pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling of the left side at threshold of 2.5.


or would it be easier to understand like this?


Macro stimulation using 0-/3+ pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling on the left side at threshold of 2.5. 


I honestly don't really understand what I'm transcribing here, so maybe a comma should be after the 0-/3+.

crura of the diaphragm actually makes some sense. I am thinking this is repair of a hiatal hernia or a small hole that would lead to a hiatal hernia. Myself, I would give the doctor the word and use it.
