Subject: Think I'm going nuts, LOL, please help

I have tried every possible spelling of this word, med. dictionary, google, webmd. I can't seem to come up with it.


Sounds like:


Synchrostyberticulum


The context doesn't give much away either.  One is the problem list, one is the past medical history, and one is:


There is a history of ... and he had a PEG placement.


Not even sure if the two go together, LOL, she tends to run her sentences together.


TIA for the help!

I was taught to never change a transcription, even if it's blatantly wrong.  I would leave as dictated and leave a note for the doctor (if you have a place to do it)

I hate it when the doctors/PAs prounounce diabetes MELLitus as diabetes mellITUS like it's some kind of inflammation or something. 


From Dorland's.com:


diabetes mellitus (di″ә-beītēs melīĭ-tәs)  


Good grief - you're a highly educated person.  You should know how to pronounce the medical terminology and medications.  Sorry.  Just tired and crabby todayd.

First typed it back in 1970s. Then again in the 90s and the doctor used all abbreviations. Almost lost it that time!!!  They all have their little "docisms". keratinaceous is used by a lot of them. For real!!!

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.

Pes plano valgus with gastroc constracture, forefoot varus, left side, is correct. Technically, in OP report headings, I was always taught to spell things out like "gsstrocnemius" even if the doc abbreviates because it is a main heading, but it also goes with your account. Hope I have helped!!

This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product
Subject: This is gonna sound nuts, but I knew a Clac product

It was not a medication, rather an "environmentally friendly" fly repellent used on livestock and pets.  Here's a link to one of the product sites I found it on:
https://www.smartpakcanine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassId=1518&GCID=C11284x040


They no longer use the Clac name and have since renamed it Deo-Lotion.


I'll be interested on hearing what you finally find out about your patient!
