Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?

Subject: CBC, ?? MSP ??, and stool

Any idea what MSP could stand for here? This is on an ortho patient with Alzheimers, anemia, and diarrhea. She recently had a total shoulder. Doc is ordering CBC, what sounds like "MSP," and stool.


It's pretty clearly spoken.


Thanks for any ideas.

What's the final word on this term from all you experienced MTs out there?? Is it "melanotic" or "melenic" or neither one??
