he's probably saying no hair tourniquet in GU exam

It is pretty bad. When my little baby was only a couple of months old, I took off his tiny sock and, to my horror, a piece of hair was wrapped so tight around his teeny little toe that it had swollen and turned purple-red. I so almost panicked. I painstakingly removed it, which was no easy task, and vowed to be ever so more careful that it never happened again...
So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??

hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??
Subject: hair tourniquet--which put of physical examination would this go in??
I looked up "hair tourniquet" to find that it affects mostly infants, a hair wrapped tightly around an extremity or the external genitalia causing extreme discomfort. I've got a rambling dictator who states things in no particular order. Does anyone have an opinion on where this is most properly put?

I don't think I would want to type that in my report like that. I will have to have to see what the Vac part stands for and find out if I can substitute the real words for that abbreviated slang. But yup, that's what the ESL must have meant, though I think he said it with the word air in there.

you may be right in the Cor Status: Full Cor if is is in reference to a code status. I've heard some unusual things dictated in reference to code status and maybe that's how that account refers to it? That's why I was wondering if there was anything to indicate he was talking about code status.
