Doctor says * cardiac-wise the patient is doing well * OR * GI-wise he has had, blah blah blah blah...
I personally do not like the phrase * dash wise * The only way around it, seems to me, is to add a bunch more words like * as far as his cardiac condition is concerned * which does not sound like the dictator.

I have a doctor who keeps saying axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein as if this is one vein he is referring to, but I think it has to be two, so how would you transcribe it when he lists the procedures performed as:
1. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical venous thrombectomy using the Trellis-8 device.
2. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein balloon angioplasty using a 10 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 6 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 7 mm x 4-cm long balloon.
3. Supervision and interpretation of fluoroscopy for performance of right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty.
He doesn't pause between the words axillosubclavian and brachiocephalic vein. Should there be a dash between the two or the word and?
