This is what I am hearing.  Does this make sense/look correct?  This MD likes to make every word short and sweet.... but I get so confused where to put it all.  Thank you.

EXTREMITIES:  There is edema of the right ankle at the site of fracture times two.  Trace to 1+ on the left, significantly diminished pulses equal 0-1 DP and PT lower extremities bilaterally.  Normal upper. 

Dr is saying Extremities: No cyanosis, clubbing or edema.  S/L" SETs" or SVTs are in fact in place.

Thank you

In the extremities exam: There is a notable s/L leglang discrepency and a positive external rotation.

thanks

Extremities:  Full range of motion.  No s/l testing, rash or tremor. 

She has 1-2+ edema bilaterally in the ankle and s/l kalai region.  TIA.

The right lower extremity has this marked amoutn of heat and "resider endeposation" in the anterior aspect of the right leg.

Again, any help please . . . .

In exam, he says:

He has flaccid left hemiplegia of the left upper and lower extremities that does ______ (rep/rub) on the left on plantar response.

In view of the ___________ (rep/rub cuff/calf) it was felt that the patient would benefit from full anticoagulation for a short term.

Any help on this would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Patient post surgery Hys & BSO.  Medical consult.

The blank sounds like pneumovac.  Can anyone help me verify or give any suggestions.

Thank you!

obese 9 year old--phallus difficult to examine as the patient has a large sl-paptha- and has a concealed phallus.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Significant findings for left lower quadrant tenderness. Blood pressure was 124/78, pulse rate of 96, and respiratory rate of 20. Heart: S1 and S2. Lungs: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.

I would type it this way or at least make it present tense.  On my accounts, I am required to categorize these things. 

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:

Abdomen:  Significant findings for left lower quadrant tenderness. Vital signs:  Blood pressure 124/78, pulse rate 96, respiratory rate 20. Heart: S1 and S2. Lungs: Clear to auscultation bilaterally.

In the physical exam, s/l thenar and epithilial wasting.  He is listing liver disease stigmata and I just blanked out on this.  Help!

Physical exam, under Extremities, doctor states ___ pulses throughout.

It sounds like temporis pulses. I know of temporal pulses, but would that be throughout the extremities? Thank you!

EXAMINATION:  No costovertebral angle tenderness.  Abdomen has normal active bowel sounds in all quadrants.  It is supple.  Extremely tender left upper quadrant and going down not quite into the groin.  Difficult to check the (s/l sternal) border because of increased tenderness but the spleen may be mildly enlarged but no distinct masses felt.  I am unable to check for rebound or guarding because she is so exquisitely tender with even a very light touch.

ASSESSMENT:  Acute left upper quadrant pain.

s/l sternal border?  Any help would be great?

I am wondering if, in the last sentence, where "drop can arc" is dictated . . . would she be referring to three tests/maneuvers such as Drop Arm, Empty Can, and an Arc test, or is it correct as is?

She has excellent range of motion of the shoulder.  Good grip strength.  Distal pulses and sensation are intact.  She can do a full drop can arc.

TIA

HEENT: It sounds like she is saying 'TO' mucosa pink and moist.  Or TL mucosa.

Any ideas?

I know this is probably really easy...BUT, the doc is rattling it off and he's new to me...

ABDOMEN:  Soft, nontender, nondistended, ___ to bowel sounds. 

Is it normal to bowel sounds?

Thanks....

could that be peripheral pulses?
