Would it be possible that my doc is saying "Unusual cornea. Right propine measuring 4 mm, the left 2 mm." I am not the best at researching yet. I have been on quite a few sites and you guys were my last stop. I appreciate the help.

s/l Maggie Eyes??? sm
Subject: s/l Maggie Eyes??? sm
This is an FNP who does sometimes create her own terminology...
The patient has stepped on something in the garden and there is a foreign body in his great toe...
She dictates: "He is guarding his toe significantly. We put on the s/l Maggie eyes and with simple washing with saline the remaining foreign body was resolved with no discoloration remaining."
Thanks in advance if anyone might know what she could possibly be saying.

bilateral eyes
Subject: bilateral eyes
Okay, doc keeps correcting me when I correct his dictation, stating bilateral knees, bilateral breasts, etc. to bilateral knee, bilateral breast - am I wrong? It seems redundant his way. He said today bilateral eyes but it seems to type bilateral eye is just weird. Would you type just eyes or bilateral eye or bilateral eyes? Thanks,

Disc or disk
Subject: Disc or disk
What is correct? C-spine herniated disc or disk? Degenerative disc or disk disease, etc. I have seen this both ways. Confused.
