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. :-)

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.

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
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.

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: Status
No, I said status means "with." Replace the word "status" with the word "with" since they mean the same thing and then you don't need a comma. :-)

Maybe you're getting a different vibe from the doc than I would. I would think that he meant decreasing performance in say- his activity level. If he meant decreasing performance status, he would actually be saying "decreasing performance condition." Really doesn't make much sense, even for an ESL, while a lot of them do put the noun before the adjective. :-) Status usually means at the present time where status post means the time afterwards. I wouldn't think he meant "decreasing performance status" meaning the condition of decreasing performance but rather "decreasing performance" with nausea, diarrhea, etc. It doesn't seem necessary for him to add the word "status" after "performance, where "decreasing performance," status, i.e, conditions of nausea, diarrhea, etc. would be necessary. But, the doc's ESL, so who really knows. :-)

Status post
Subject: Status post
I have never seen/used a hyphen either. I guess it also depends upon what the doctor wants. I have one doctor where I use a hyphen in follow-up no matter what, and I know that is not "correct" just they way he wants it.

because I agree with the other poster... I make 2-3 times the amount as an IC paid by the line as I would hourly... Thank God I still have the job. However, my mom did the same thing but just recently went to employee status because she needed the health benefits as her and my father were both self employed.... so it just depends on your situation I think!

Subject: status post ilia? please sm
Under HPI, patient has a very long and complicated history. Towards the end of the list, doctor says "dysphagia status post PEG, anemia status post ilia, status post UTI etc."
Truth is, he says anemia status post ilia and then repeats himself w/o anemia, he just says status post ilia, status post UTI.
Any ideas what this ilia is? :) Thanks.
