The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

Excerpt from Bee and Hymenoptera Stings
Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: ant stings, wasp stings, vespid stings, bee envenomations, Hymenoptera envenomations, ant envenomations, wasp envenomations, vespid envenomations
Background: Hymenoptera stings account for more deaths in the United States than any other envenomation. Order Hymenoptera includes Apis species, ie, bees (European, African), vespids (wasps, yellow jackets, hornets), and ants. Although most deaths result from immunologic mechanisms, some are from direct toxicity. Severe anaphylactoid reactions occur occasionally when toxins directly stimulate mast cells. While the vast majority of stings cause only minor problems, stings cause a significant number of deaths. |

Hi!
I would probably make just a minor adjustment as I think he's talking about edema in both ankles:
EXTREMITIES: There is edema of the right ankle at the site of fracture times two, trace to 1+ on the left. Significantly diminished pulses, equal 0-1 DP and PT lower extremities bilaterally. Normal upper.
As for the rest....looks okay to me...not sure about the "equal" part - sorry! Good job!

Conus medullaris and the cauda equina are within the normal limits. Intervertebral disk at L4-5 has mildly diminished signal, indicating desiccation at its interspace.
FINDINGS: There is a mild bulge centrally with facet osteoarthropathy but no significant canal stenosis.
**I'm not 100% without actually hearing the dictation that interspace and facet osteoarthropathy are definite, but with years of rad experience that's the best guess I can make for ya, both would be acceptable in that context as you have listed it. But I at least FINALLY figured out blank #1 (bulge..not bone)!! Yipee! LOL Hope this helps ya!

Most of the ortho doctors I type for say medial and lateral joint line (or lines). I type what they say - if they say line, that's what they get, even if it seems like it should be lines. Same with medial and lateral versus mediolateral. I figure if I type what they say, I'm in the clear. With your example, if it sounds like he's saying medial lateral, I would type mediolateral, since it's the combining form for medial lateral.
As far as the lab, I would type it with the laboratory data. If there is no heading, I space it down one just to make is separate.

She had a trauma and then on her x-rays it looked like she may have an intermoody displaced lateral tibial plateau fracture as she was having pain bearing weight. Given that, I sent her for a CAT scan to evaluate it. She returns today saying she has been compliant, been nonweightbearing, and been in a knee immobilizer. She is now about two weeks out from the injury. Review of her CAT scan today shows that she does have a slight depression of the lateral tibial plateau.

The surgeon needs more than ever to take preventive measures. It is essential to use bipolar coagulation before any sectioning maneuver. The aim is to progress from the anterior layer towards the posterior layer ensuring meticulous hemostasis of all the tissues contained in the space. The posterior layer should show up gray in color. This means it contains no vessels and that there is no bowel tissue located behind the peritoneum.

The "y" symbol: an important classification tool for neoadjuvant cancer treatment
Brierley JD, Greene FL, Sobin LH, Wittekind C (2006). The "y" symbol: an important classification tool for neoadjuvant cancer treatment. Cancer 106(11):2526-2527.
The use of preoperative adjuvant therapy is becoming increasingly frequent for a number of tumours; both chemotherapy and radiotherapy either singly or combined affect the anatomic extent of disease. Therefore, the pathologic classification after preoperative therapy may not reflect the true anatomic extent of disease before treatment. Therefore, only the clinical classification should be recorded for cancer registry and epidemiologic purposes. To indicate that the clinical or pathologic classification has been determined after preoperative therapy, the TNM classification of the International Union Against Cancer and American Joint Committee on Cancer includes a prefix “y”, with yc indicating the clinical classification and yp the pathologic classification.
