Subject: My guess is similar ...

Similar to the first response, I'd listen for something like:

PVD, venous stasis ulcers of lower legs.

(Knowing which syllables were accented might have helped this one).

I have never heard it before, but it does make sense.  The patient was doing range of motion cold, and in your case, he is using the term "cold turkey", meaning the extremity he is trying to range is "cold", not yet warmed up.  So, I would say yes it makes sense!!

I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school.  However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.

Subject: For future reference, have reports similar to this quite often. I do transcribe them verbatim, this way there is no finger pointing on what we as transcriptionists take as a "liberty" in interpretation.

If it is ever in question, they can go back to the dictators original dictation (if available) and see that is what he/she said and they are directly responsible for the content of their reports.

Hope this helps.

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity.  Ostium means opening.  Meatus means opening also.  So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to.   Plus that, there is no such word as ostio. 


I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.
