According to Stedman's Abbreviations...FACT would be either: Flanagan Aptitude Classification Test or Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy. Is that what you are looking for? You did not specify what it was, so just taking a stab at this.

"melanotic" stool--fact or fiction??
Subject: "melanotic" stool--fact or fiction??
Okay, when I was in transcription training I got this wrong--supposedly there is no such word as "melanotic," at least when it refers to stool. And yet when I google it, I find it. What's the final word on this term from all you experienced MTs out there?? Is it "melanotic" or "melenic" or neither one??

TL study?
Subject: TL study?
Could he be talking about TL-201, or Thallous Chloride? It's used for heart studies. See if any of this info sounds like your patient:
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection may be useful in myocardial perfusion imaging using either planar or SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) techniques for the diagnosis and localization of myocardial infarction. It may also have prognostic value regarding survival, when used in the clinically stable patient following the onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction, to assess the site and size of the perfusion defect.
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection is indicated also for the localization of sites of parathyroid hyperactivity in patients with elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. It may also be useful in pre-operative screening to localize extrathyroidal and mediastinal sites of parathyroid hyperactivity and for postsurgical reexamination.

The pathology report shows that over the 3.5-cm left thyroid nodule, there was note of numerous fistula sites, and rare bland thyroid follicle cells and colloid material.
Not sure if he is actually saying "numerous fistula sites" but that is certainly what it sounds like. Any suggestions?
