I previously posted:  I am doing an ortho report and it sounds like the doc is saying "weiss coating" or "waves coding."  Any ideas??

The sentence was:  "The myelogram is somehwat indicative of an L5-S1 stenosis by Dr. So-and-so, but I was not able to see that myself, though there did appear to be some L4-L5 (s/l "weiss coding") on the myelogram." 

Thank you so much to anyone who can help!!

anchor mastopexy - Also referred to as a Wise pattern (or sometimes Weiss pattern) mastopexy, full breast lift, or inverted-T incision, the anchor mastopexy is considered the traditional technique for breast lifting. The incisions are made around the areola, down the center of the lower portion of the breast and then across the breast in the inframmamary fold. Like the donut and lollipop incisions, the areola can be made smaller at the same time. The resulting scar is in the shape of an anchor. Although the Wise pattern or anchor mastopexy used to be the standard, it is now usually reserved only for those with moderate to severe breast sagging.

one of a zillion websites on this very subject and nothing comes up for Wyse mastopexy, mastoplasty, or mammoplasty.

how is this written?  this is exactly what doc is saying:

very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT. 

been doing oncology a long time and if they want to add a drug of some kind......like you typed 1.2 mg of something or other....IN 12 cc of chemotherapy........that would make sense

1.2 mg in 12 cc of whateverchemotherapeutic agent(s) pt is on.
