Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative.  Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him.  He denies hearing any voices..... 

Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example.  Any input?

Here is a link with some abbrevs for OB/GYN.

I am lost ladies......

"Status post (s/l) when-troco-nay pay and gout,time four years."  This is in past history.  Foreign doc. 

Thanks for any help!  Kelley

he presented to my office with s/l; decreasing performance status nausea, diarrhea

If this is decreasing performance status is there any punctuation following?

This is also an ESL

Thanks

Sorry, I cannot help you with the atouche thing but I saw you put

status postbilateral......

As I know it, we put post together with the next word only if STATUS does not precede post....

postmastectomy would be correct but status postmastectomy would be incorrect....s/b status post mastectomy in the latter case.  *S*

To clarify, I need help with this:

He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative.  s/l Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him.  He denies hearing any voices.....

Thanks!

Doc is saying ECOG performance status 1 and s/l ACOG performance status 1.  I do not think he is repeating the ECOG again.  Not sure what ACOG means if there is such a thing.  Patient has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and AIDS and is admitted for chemotherapy.

Under HPI, patient has a very long and complicated history.  Towards the end of the list, doctor says "dysphagia status post PEG, anemia status post ilia, status post UTI etc."

Truth is, he says anemia status post ilia and then repeats himself w/o anemia, he just says status post ilia, status post UTI.

Any ideas what this ilia is? :) Thanks.

This person had significant GI symptoms which are resolved status post s/l lap-ness

"The patient did have difficulty following the procedure.  She had some mental _____ and whether or not this is related to anesthesia or to her severe blood loss is not quite clear but she is doing very well now.  She is pretty sharp.  She is accompanied by her caregiver and seems to ask the appropriate questions."    

It sounds something like it ends in "tion"
