Subject: Does this drive you nuts too?
I hate it when the doctors/PAs prounounce diabetes MELLitus as diabetes mellITUS like it's some kind of inflammation or something.
From Dorland's.com:
diabetes mellitus (di″ә-beītēs melīĭ-tәs)
Good grief - you're a highly educated person. You should know how to pronounce the medical terminology and medications. Sorry. Just tired and crabby todayd.

Pes plano valgus with gastroc constracture, forefoot varus, left side, is correct. Technically, in OP report headings, I was always taught to spell things out like "gsstrocnemius" even if the doc abbreviates because it is a main heading, but it also goes with your account. Hope I have helped!!

It always used to be tendonitis, now the change.
And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?
When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.

"pacing drive train" SM

Can someone tell me what a "pacing drive train" is?
"Atrial extrastimuli were introduced, beginning with pacing drive trains of 600."
There's an ENT doc who is about to drive me insane! I can't find just one word.
Subject: There's an ENT doc who is about to drive me insane! I can't find just one word.
I've wasted about an hour today looking for this one word the dictator uses over and over. I'll copy the sentence:
"Larynx and pharynx examination reveals normal adenoids, ____________, eustachian tubes, pharyngeal walls, piriform sinuses, epiglottis, false and true cords immobility to mirror and direct laryngoscopy."
The missing word sounds like "coin-ee." I've pulled old reports and everyone has left it out. Also can't tell for sure that he's saying immobility. Doesn't seem like immobility of the vocal cords would be desirable. Shouldn't it be mobility?
Somebody out there must be better at ENT than I.

I have tried every possible spelling of this word, med. dictionary, google, webmd. I can't seem to come up with it.
Sounds like:
Synchrostyberticulum
The context doesn't give much away either.  One is the problem list, one is the past medical history, and one is:
There is a history of ... and he had a PEG placement.
Not even sure if the two go together, LOL, she tends to run her sentences together.
TIA for the help!

Beetle nuts are chewed, much like chewing tobacco, causing mouth irritations. It is possible with the diagnosis of CA of the mouth that beetle nuts is what was dictated.

I was taught to never change a transcription, even if it's blatantly wrong. I would leave as dictated and leave a note for the doctor (if you have a place to do it)

any time they spell it you can pretty much count on the spelling to be wrong. guess atleast they make the effort? lol better than the speedy ones who don't care enough to even attempt to make sure you know what they mean.

First typed it back in 1970s. Then again in the 90s and the doctor used all abbreviations. Almost lost it that time!!! They all have their little "docisms". keratinaceous is used by a lot of them. For real!!!

If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?" It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets. Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040
They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.
I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!
