s/l "dis-turds" versus anemia.  The doc is is seriously mumbling but I think he says something like this.

Sounds like: Fixation using Encompass (?) rods and screws...

Thanks in advance!

Okay, he is talking about a spine fusion.. He says "there are some staples which have not moved since last year"  

Would they leave staples in that long? 

Thanks for any help!

help please:

"anterior fusion at L4-5 and L5-S1 using Vertistack cages with bone morphogenetic proteins as well as anterior s/l xanthous at L4-5 and a Pyramid plate at L5-S1"

Thanks

"A bow was used to create parallel endplate surfaces."  Should it be bow or bone?

Thanks.

The patient is admitted from the clinic where CT visuals showed recurrence of the disease.

I'm not sure if that's what the doctor is saying. Does it sound right?

When typing amount of cigarettes, is three-quarters a pack a day correct or would you use numerals?

Under history of present illness he has that the patient has a history of IV drug abuse.

Past medical history: IODINE ALLERGY WITH SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND HIVES FOLLOWING IV SPREE THREE YEARS PTA.

Could that be what he's saying? Thanks.

Surgeries: Small bowel obstruction, THA/BA for cholecystectomy.

I'm not sure if he said BA or BA with another letter on the end. Help! Thanks.

Is it best to leave it as dictated or write out hypertension?  Account is not verbatim.

Under past medical history he states "Basal cell **and blue** carcinoma.

My apologies if this is something simple, but this is what it sounds like and I am not finding anything to point me in the right direction. Thanks!

if it is a youngish woman..........??  Just guessing here, don't know where you are in report......but if in past medical history and there is even more, it's possible, and just use a comma to separate........

....shingles on bridge of nose and some in-vitro problems...

CABG 1998 and s/l CVAA SPVD status post right lower extremity amputation and hypertension.

Thank you

listed is s/l Berjay's disease.

I've Googled every spelling I can think of and have come up blank 

dictator says: Past medical history for hypertension. Past surgical history is arthroscopy of his right knee. Allergies are to Demerol and Penicillin. Do I put Headings over each one and keep the exact dictation like this:  PAST MEDICAL HISTORY (type under this title) Past medical history for hypertension OR just Hypertension. Other part of my question.  ROS subheadings: dictator says this: Cardiovascular has a history of hypertension.  do I need to put a colon in there and cap the Has? or leave as I have typed in bold? Do I add a subheading of GI/GU: for this sentence - No GI/GU problems. Does this sentence also need colon?  Musculoskeletal I stated in the HPI. No neurological or hematological discorders.  Thanks for any help, sorry if these seem like dumb questions...but I really need the help.

Under past medical history, dictator is saying s/l ben r r ma gene.  Or banner arma gene.  ??? 

Patient also has hypertension, dyslipidemia, asymptomatic stroke, sleep apnea, renal insufficiency.  Any ideas?
