He must be dictating pretty fast (around 500 miles/hour. LOL).
s/l he was saying, "petrosal (for petrous portion of temporal bone) and external acoustic meatus."

meatus/meati
Subject: meatus/meati
Does anyone have an opinion on what the plural of meatus is? Most of my ENT doctors specifically state "meati" and one 1 form that I received as an example from the ENT office was transcribed as "meati."

Have never, in all my years, heard anyone say meati. Have typed ENT, urology, GYN, GI, Derm, etc and never have I had anyone dictate "meati"l.

Could that be right? Or do you think dictator means urethral? Talking about vesicoureteral reflux in a male.
Thanks!!!
Meatus means opening.
Subject: Meatus means opening.
If you Google ureteral meatus with vesicoureteral reflux, you can read about it. We don't have the benefit of the whole sentence or paragraph so we know where he is, actually. This condition affects the kidneys, but hypospadias can go with it, so next thing you know they are talking about the urethral meatus. One quick clue would be whether he says right or left. Normally when talking about the ureters, they will say right, left or bilateral early on in the report. It's all about paying attention and knowing where they are. But do Google and read about it so you understand the condition so you'll know next time.

Help with external fixator slang
Subject: Help with external fixator slang
On this account slang words are typed as dictated. For external fixator he dictates ex-fix. Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix? It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.
Thanks!
