T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message
Subject: T-U fusion or TU fusion. also, hypocalcemia, yes. see message
found on line:
"On EKG, hypocalcemia may be signified by a lengthening of the ST segment and QT interval"
T-U fusion (from what I can find) is related to hypokalemia rather than hypocalcemia. Might take some searching?
"Other findings associated with hypokalemia include the following: The U wave and T wave merge in some cases to form a T-U wave which may be misdiagnosed as a prolonged QT interval."

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:
get formolent = ___ for a minute
OR
get formolent = get 4 ____
as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"
I wish I could be more help...
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...
Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy. It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy.
hmmm...
Subject: hmmm...
The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive. I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.
