(Why, oh why can't they move comments along with the OP?  Grrr...)

Anyway, if this is the sentence, "There are three cysts identified within the right kidney, the largest of which is in the upper pole and measures 6.5 cm in diameter," then no comma is used before "which."  The prepositional phrase begins with ", the largest of which."

I was taught years ago that you put a comma before "which" if it is referring to the immediate preceding phrase.

In this sentence, it refers to the former phrase:  "This is a 51-year-old pleasant gentleman who had a shave biopsy of the left shoulder which revealed a possible Clark's nevus."  The "which" refers to the shave biopsy, not the left shoulder.

In this one, it refers to the immediately preceding phrase:  "Will continue the sertraline but will increase the amount to 75 mg daily, which would be 50 mg plus 25 mg."  The "which" refers to the 75 mg daily, not the sertraline.

Is this still correct?  Anyone?

It now makes me feel less dense that no one else can understand it.

He is definetly putting a K or Q sound on the beginning and I have put cool and strong & have not got any feed back yet.

I love this doc otherwise, the dream dictator..always very clear (except for that) dictates in same order, to the point where I have a standard for his whole reports, very considerate, spells the hard ones, but he uses some very old fashion terminology at times,

again thank you all for your time and I'll let you know if I finally figure it out...have a safe holiday

It sounds closest to Ganirelix.  I'll put that with a question mark. 

Hayseed you are too funny! 

Thanks for the replies, but I do know what a Phalen test is.  This would not apply to this because this was the actual diagnosis.  I actually did figure out the answer, it is a distal phalanx felon. 

Thanks for the help though!!

Whenever someone replies back to my question, all I can view is the Subject!!  What's the secret to opening these??

anterior mediastinum

Anterior mediastinum, the narrow region between the pericardium and the sternum containing the thymus or its remnants, some lymph nodes and vessels and branches of the internal thoracic artery.

If you buy some good dictionaries, you won't need BOS. 

Get yourself a good medical dictionary and look up Chlamydia/chlamydia

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question.  You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help.  You need to give some example of what you are looking for.  People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you.  Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer. 

Renal ultrasound was requested in addition to laboratory studies, a BMP, C3, C4, ANKA anti GBN, Cria gobulance, hepatitis B, C, and HIV.  A urine REM and urine protein electrophoresis was also requested. 

These are my sound likes.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dorland's Medical Dictionary: 

Pexis: 

1.  Fixation of matter by a tissue. 

2.  Surgical fixation, usually by suture. 

Therefore pexed would be past tense, as in was pexed (or fixed).
