Just had a doc use the word "averbal", meaning not speaking.  I could  not verify this word anywhere.  Found reference in archives here and someone said to Google "averbal definition", which I did.  Could not find any reference to this word.  Should I leave it as dictated, or change it to "nonverbal"?  TIA!

Subject: Facial skin rash

Hi all,


I am now in a panic on this one.  I have spent an hour looking for this word.  The patient has the diagnosis of photosensitive allergic dermatitis and only has a rash on the face.  Toward the end of the report the doctor dictates the following: We did discuss _______ but this is not clinically that diagnosis.  The blank sounds like ericiproteous OR a resiprotus.  Thanks for your help and time.
