Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.
Subject: Each vertebra has 2 transverse processes and 1 spinous process.
So, depending on what the doc says, the spinous process of C5 would be correct. Also, the spinous processes of the cervical spine would be a correct statement. Spinous process of the cervical spine would be incorrect as there are 7 cervical vertebral bodies with 3 processes each.

Doctor is describing a patient's finger pain. He says:
"At her last visit she did have a maintenance interscalene block and reported several months of improvement in pain to a level of 3/10 when used in combination with her other conservative therapies. These have included Lac-Hydrin applications, paraffin wax applications, and (s/l "co-bayne") and protective (s/l "cutlets") to the left ring finger. The patient has dystonia and extreme difficulty in bending at the PIP joint from a functional standpoint. Numeric pain score is an 8/10..."
First word sounds like Cobain or Cobayne, pronounced just like the last name of the late lead singer of Nirvana. Second word sounds just like cutlets, like veal cutlets.
I have no idea at all what these two words are, and he repeats them in both the subjective and in the assessment. Can anyone save me from leaving four blanks? I'm sick and exhausted with a sick four year old at home, and I'm feeling a bit fussy and frustrated and would be SO thankful for the help.
Thanks!

this is another case of a doctor thinking he knows it all and spelling it incorrectly - he never did state the term, he just spelled it, which makes me suspect he does not know HOW to pronounce it! I painfully put what he dictated and will let him worry about it! Thanks again!
