Restless leg syndrome medication

Doctor spells Mirajet.  I cannot reference this.  Used the drug reference,  a drug site on the web and also googled restless leg syndrome as well as different spellings of the drug.  I am wondering if it is supposed to be Mirapex.  Any suggestions?

I have never heard it before, but it does make sense.  The patient was doing range of motion cold, and in your case, he is using the term "cold turkey", meaning the extremity he is trying to range is "cold", not yet warmed up.  So, I would say yes it makes sense!!

I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school.  However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.

Subject: For future reference, have reports similar to this quite often. I do transcribe them verbatim, this way there is no finger pointing on what we as transcriptionists take as a "liberty" in interpretation.

If it is ever in question, they can go back to the dictators original dictation (if available) and see that is what he/she said and they are directly responsible for the content of their reports.

Hope this helps.
