I wouldn't change" status" to "with" here, performance status is, sm
Subject: I wouldn't change" status" to "with" here, performance status is, sm

a specific term to quantify the patient's well being, "performance with" doesn't mean the same thing.

performance status
Subject: performance status

he presented to my office with s/l; decreasing performance status nausea, diarrhea

If this is decreasing performance status is there any punctuation following?

This is also an ESL

Thanks

Performance status
Subject: Performance status

Since the word "status" means "with" the sentence would read, decreasing performance with nausea, diarrhea.... You wouldn't put a comma before with. It would be bad grammar, IMHO. :-)

ACOG performance status?
Subject: ACOG performance status?

Doc is saying ECOG performance status 1 and s/l ACOG performance status 1. I do not think he is repeating the ECOG again. Not sure what ACOG means if there is such a thing. Patient has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and AIDS and is admitted for chemotherapy.

Subject: Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?

Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative. Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him. He denies hearing any voices.....

Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example. Any input?

Subject: I think Patty

means that the physician "made up" the word to indicate something else. The word apneic does exist. Been doing sleep clinic transcription and former chairman of American Sleep Medicine Society (or whatever the organization's name is) was in my account and she says that word a lot of times. The usage of apneic in this instance though does not seem to jive with the whole statement.

I was asking the original poster to try and get a hint at the med she was looking for. You make me laugh, Patty! By the way, you amaze me with your quick answers when helping others with terminology. You're the WOMAN!!

Hey Patty.....
Subject: Hey Patty.....

I would send you a cute little symbol or happyface, or something, but unfortunately I'm so computer-illiterate that I don't know how to do any of that (oh, I just noticed that I can click on the faces at the bottom!) - been doing transcription for over 20 years and still don't know how to use a computer - go figure!! I need to take a course one of these days.

Thank you, Patty!

By the sound of it, I thought it had something to do with orange peel, so I went searching.

The site I found had a spelling of peau d'orange. Do you know the correct spelling, or is either spelling ok?

Thanks again.
