I have found it both ways online.  It's not in Stedman's GI words.  Have had this corrected from MIC-KEY to Mic-Key by QA and then I started doing Mic-Key only to have another QA change it back to MIC-KEY.  ????

Hi all..working for an ENT doc who is doing an endocopic exam on a patient's nose.  She states "The nose is investigated with a radial or rigid 30 degree telescope.  Left ethmoid....


Any clues for radial or rigid?  This is my only blank in these documents, but it's a consistent one!  Thanks for your help!

Subject: s/l **jev-uh-dee** through a PEG tube?

Quote:


She still has inadequate control of her airway with dysphagia, particularly for thin liquids, and thus has her trach still in place.  However, this does seem to be improving.  She is also using **gevadee** through a PEG tube in her abdomen. 


Anyone know what the heck **gevadee** or **jevadee** could possibly bee?  It would rhyme with chickadee but starts jev, just like the name jeff but with a v instead of two f's --  Jevadee. 


Thanks in advance!
