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.

Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Subject: Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.
sounds like JEP?

I have known T-wave and Q-wave - s/l *key* may be either Q or T.....is this an ESL dictator?
Also, in an EKG, as I know it, the leads are in Roman numerals....leads I, II, and aVF (for example).
I WOULD, however, blank the Q or T - because key/tee k/q sounds. It could be either/or and I would blank it....but, of course, this is from yesterday, and the report probably already went back. *lol*
