Neuro - not sure if I have this right - sensation testing of diabetic sm
Subject: Neuro - not sure if I have this right - sensation testing of diabetic sm
Usually this doc says something along the lines of monofilament testing is intact, which is also how the other docs have dictated it to one degree or another.
However, this time he says, "a nylon string test reveals s/l 5 point of sensation on both feet."
Don't know if it should be 5 points of sensation, 5-point sensation, or if it's simply 5.0 sensation. Is anyone aware of how to type this?
Thanks for any help with this.

"She was seen in the emergency room on Thursday for severe headache and possible preictal aura. She had a brain CT that was unremarkable per report which patient S/L: HAN-DE-LE-RIS today. Also was given Ativan and Toradol."
I thought maybe "handed to us", but it just doesn't sound like that - at any speed. If anyone has an idea of what this might be, I would be most appreciative!! Thanks in advance.

It still makes no sense to me ~ if she was already on Flagyl, how could she be switched? Neither of the drugs you listed (or variations thereof) exist. There are many antibiotics that sound very similar. See if you can slow the voice way down.
