Because of words like the one you were looking for, and because it seems like she needed a minimum of 10 adjectives to describe every single speck on the skin - "Pt has a small, reddish-brown, raised, oval-shaped, 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm (etc., etc.) spot on the upper left arm..."    (Don't mean to be insensitive to the patients.  Just don't miss it is all I'm saying!)

Sorry...excerpt from an old joke I heard at a comedy club in Boston once.

You are hearing it correctly.  Some people will refer to a preist or a nun as "Father" or "Sister" and leave out their name.  I met a priest once (just once) and I referred to him as just "Father" when I thanked him for doing whatever it is he did at my mother's wake.  (Can you tell I'm not religious?)  I didn't know his name or anything, and besides, that's what I heard everyone else around me call him. 

I think the name Mary is just one of those many "good Irish-Catholic names"...kind of like the one I got stuck with but instead bury it with the name "Hayseed."   

I'd love to put these into my file, and I'm not questioning the legitimacy (okay, I am, but I gotta because it's my patootie on the line), but is there a link to these bad boys you can share?

but transudated fits definition-wise.  I mostly hear transit in terms of things moving throug the bowel.

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:

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!

It is an assessment - eczema s/l craculae or crackle-a.  TIA!!

Under Review of Systems, it sounds like the doctors says "Derm no complaints, Hem no complaints." I've never heard this dictated in the Review of Systems before.

Need help with words in bold.  Thank you.

SKIN:  Lots of seborrheic keratoses.  He does have an elevated 9 mm papule on left side of the face, which has some vascularization and central core.  It almost looks like acanthokeratosis, but basal cell carcinoma cannot be fully ruled out.  No other suspicious lesions.  He does have some miliary rubra on the back. 

I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.

Assessment:  Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen.  (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:

s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:

On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 

I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA

nevus, rule out atypia, midabdomen

dermatofibroma

These derm guys and their adjectives are putting me right over the top!!!  Comma or no comma???

Physical examination reveals relatively severe diffuse facial dermatoheliosis

relatively severe, diffuse or relatively severe diffuse

since telantiectasia is one of the symptoms/signs of rosacea I believe these sites are okay and reliable. See below. Sort of like saying papulo-pustular, which in the old days when I typed derm was always hyphenated etc. Just new derm-speak I believe
