At that time, it was decided to explore (s/l trileptory) concerning for resection of small bowel. The patient went to surgery on that day for exploratory laparatomy, small bowel resection of primary anastomosis, and was discharged on 03/18/2009.
(they are concerned about a small-bowel obstruction.)

PET SCAN 03/08/08: Reveals intense hypermetabolism corresponding to the mass in the left mid lung field posteriorly, abutting in the left major fizure predominantly in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. This same type of metabolism corresponding to the right middle lobe pulmonary nodule previously noted activity in the lower neck anteriorly (06/28/06) has since resolved.

the metric system, which pounds are not. So, it would be 175-1/2 pounds. I can't find it in BOS either and I've looked up everything I can think of to support my theory.

Subject: I'm such a freak! This 1/2 thing is driving me nuts!
If the QA is insisting ".5" after weight instead of "1/2", wouldn't they also insist on typing "A 2.5-year-old child" instead of the obviously correct "A 2-1/2-year-old child?" It just doesn't jive with me on some level, but then again neither did Aqua-Net hairspray.

Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

we MTs had very few references, certainly no Google. We would beg doctors to give us their old PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) and would find lots of our S/L there. We oldsters were definitely word detectives in our day.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

I figured I was spending way too much time trying to decipher his jumbled mumbled dictation. He can either learn to speak correctly and coherently or spend his time trying to figure out what he was trying to say to fill in the blanks!!!

So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??
this is crazy!
Subject: this is crazy!
There were three other places in the dictation that I could not understand what he was saying.
After I deciphered the 'alert and oriented' (with your gracious help), I went back to the other three. Bingo. It was like a mumble-jumble-decipher puzzle piece placed itself in my head, and I figured out the other three.
I love puzzles.
Thanks again!
Crazy, ain't it?

The actual pronunciation of that word IS "day-breed-MON". I about died when I first heard that. I guess it's French. It sounds so hoity-toity to me. LOL
