Please let me know. I've done a lot of duplex ultrasounds over the past 5-6 years but I am very "aural" when it comes to dictation - once I see "increment" and have that in my mind, I can't think of anything else.  Anyway, I would like to know what it is in case I run across it.
Thanks!

I've spent too much time on it as it is. I'm overly tired and grumpy anyway from getting up to pee every hour for the last several nights from my own urinary issues. The NP said I'd have relief today. What an a**hole. I'm in so much pain. He insists it could not be a kidney stone yet I'm peeing massive amounts of blood and blood clots. I've had a hyster so I know it's not coming from there. I don't usually wish things on people but I'm so grumpy from lack of sleep and in so much pain right now, I hope he gets one this bad. Curses!

She says: Upper extremity, right, and rigidity with bright red ***ek-I-nas-ia**.
This is in PE, and she is usually quick with this section and doesn't explain much, so I have nothing else to go off of. This is a geriatric medicine note. Also, it's pretty much verbatim, so this is what is said.
Thanks!
Help trying to figure out this term..

I figure cc is used in a syringe sm
Subject: I figure cc is used in a syringe sm
and mL is liquid can be given through a syringe minus the needle orally. You will also see this on the measuring cup on top of cough medicine. cc and mL are measurements equal in quantity. 5 mL = 1 tsp or 5 cc = 1 tsp. I think the dangerous abbreviations are more for handwritten notes as opposed to transcription. JMO.

It is also hard to figure out ...
Subject: It is also hard to figure out ...
... because they put this patient on 1 baby aspirin a day, which I thought was to thin the blood. I actually ended up asking a doc at the hospital where I work, and he seemed to indicate that there wasn't really any "hypocoagulable workup" -- it was more like "bleeding studies." There is a "hypercoagulable workup" which is extensively discussed on the net, but this patient with the bleeding may be more a candidate for the bleeding studies. However, from what I have read on the net, the tests that are done for a "hypercoagulable workup" are the ones which are being ordered for this patient. Sigh. I'm going to change it to hypercoagulable, and mark it just in case. Thanks for your input.

P2. She had 2 pregnancies resulting in live births.
G11 (2-0-8-2).
11 pregnancies including current one.
2 live births
0 preterm births
8 abortion/miscarriage
2 living children
The first and last 2 in (2-0-8-2) are the same children, plus 8 miscarriages/AB equal 10 pregnancies. If patient is currently pregnant that makes 11 pregnancies, thus G11.

I would type it 0.25%. The BOS said something about making percentages a fraction of one. So that would make your 25% injection 0.25%.
