Subject: Proper expansion ER/PR
I'm typing an assessment for a lady with breast cancer and the physician says ER/PR positive. Can someone please tell me the correct expansion for that. I know it is estrogen and progresterone receptor, but not sure of the correct way to type it.

ESWL expansion?
Subject: ESWL expansion?
I have always been taught ESWL stood for electric shock wave lithotripsy. However, I stumbled upon a web site today for says ESWL stands for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Are these interchangeable?? Which do you use when your doc just says "ESWL" and you need to expand it?
Thanks for any info!
Correct expansion of CPK
Subject: Correct expansion of CPK
CPK stands for CREATINE phosphokinase. Use of CREATININE phosphokinase to stand for CPK is a common mistake made by many docs and MTs. I don't think a CPK level would be a first-round test for fatigue.

Subject: Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm
but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue. I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget. I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term. Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days! Glad we could help you!

Subject: Do you use word expansion software?
I use SmartType and something similar happened to me regarding the gobbling up and the hour glass going crazy. I ended up getting more computer memory and it quit happening. Also, if Word 2003 is bundled with MicroSoft Works or MicroSoft Office, it will also happen.

1. If it is a verbatim account, you should put pee in there if he said it.
2. The patient reports, "When he tried to pee, he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right."
The right way if you were going to quote this would be:
When he tried to "pee" he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right.
The comma would be proper
Subject: The comma would be proper
The comma should be used instead of the semicolon, as this is all pertaining to one item and should not be misconstrued as 2 sentences. It is like a modifier of the diagnosis.
