Infectious disease doctor (foreign) patient has a febrile illness, elevation of protein in spinal fluid. Differential diagnoses include leptospirosis, then what sounds something like "trepadoma paladin", I"m clueless! 
It's possible. They need to pull on something to remove these tubes, so either could be okay. n

Horrible sound quality, I now have 5 blanks in this report. Need help with this anesthesiology consultation on pending shoulder surgery.
There is no tenderness along the right or left brachial plexus, the ________ groove or supraclavicular region. There is no tenderness along the right or left anterior or medial _________ muscles. The patient's upper extremity shows the _________ muscle mass appears symmetrical.
I'm sorry, the sound is so bad I don't even know what these words sound like. It doesn't help that the dictator has marbles in his mouth!! I just don't have a clue!!

I have also seen it typed STAT with no period. I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice. Any ideas??? Or where to look?? Sue
