I'll modify my second question to s/l nonriabolic

Subject: I'll modify my second question to s/l nonriabolic

Here's the sentence again "There was a small right level 2 node that has become [s/l nonriabolic or nonviabolic], consistent with an evolving inflammatory process." It's possible he is saying "nonviable" which actually makes sense, but if it is, he's saying it really weird because the empasis would be on "vi" instead of "bol," so I'm not convinced that's it. This is my last stumbling block and then I'm done for the day!

I'll try to help you, but...

I agree with the other poster. I mean this in the nicest way possible, so please don't take this wrong. A little research could have answered these for you. Here goes anyway...Astelin nasal spray, Scalpacin, ranitidine (you had this one right, googling it would have confirmed it), Feldene, bupropion hydrochloride, and Temovate (this one may not be what you need, google for more info).

If you don't have drug reference books, Quick Look Drug Book is a great book. Also, you can go to www.fda.gov and then click on drugs, and it will take you to the drugs@fda site, which is great because you can enter just 3 letters of the word. Also, if you know what the drug is used to treat, type in that condition in google, and you can often find several drugs listed for that condition. For example, "stop smoking medications" will pull up bupropion hydrochloride.

Good luck!

I type them, even though they come up on spell check. I have never had a report back with any of those types of words corrected. If the doc says it, I type it and the docs seem to do that a lot these days.

I was trained to do acute care, but spent 7 yrs doing clinic work. It IS a different ball game. I am frequently surprised by what I remember of my coursework and how often I use it, which is actually quite a lot. Then again, most of what I know is through a lot of time and hard work in this profession.

I took a job earlier that year on an account with 80% ESLs. This was the last major challenge I had waiting for me in this career (heavy ESLs are not everyone's cup of tea). I can do the most difficult and intricate of OP notes, but I wanted to continue to learn and grow. The ESL doctors have taught me a lot and sharpened my ear.

That is the thing about this business. There are many different types of work and many different ways in which it gets accomplished. Some of us have excellent ears and ESLs are fun for us. Some of us need the same set of doctors day in and day out, whereas others of us would be bored stiff with this. Some like acute care, some like clinics and some like both.

The knowledge comes over time. If you are as fortunate as I have been and have access to several excellent, accomplished and fast-answering MTs, you learn more and you learn it more quickly. People like MT50 are invaluable...to me too!

I'll bet you are right! Thank you!

I looked up Allen-Masters syndrome, and it seems to fit the preoperative diagnosis of pelvic pain. He clearly says Masterson, though, so I'm afraid he'll get a blank for that part.

I was searching meds that started with et or at as well. I thought I heard a vowel before the t but could not be sure he was saying "a" then the name of the med or if the med started with a vowel. This doc likes to ramble and add lots of a's, um's and and's.

Thanks for your help :)
