Doctor dictates "The patient did have a urethral stricture lasered in the office."
I don't think lasered is an appropriate word, is it acceptable to change the sentence to this?
The patient did have a urethral stricture corrected with laser in the office.
Or should I just use lasered as he dictated? Thanks. :)

It is so hard to say. He could be slurring the S in from diagnosis with ac contusion. He does not make sense with any of his sentences. For example exact words ?? contusion foot contusion shin. He ends with shin. I have no clue. I am new at this with a doc with marbles in his mouth and doesn't finish sentences correctly. It is going to be a long night. Three reports from the same doc. :-( Calgon take me away.

put in the word as best you can with part of the sentence and see what comes up. I do that when I am unsure of a term and can usually find what I am looking for that way, its a lot faster than posting here, and it teaches you how to reference.

I would think it is lytic then, but if unsure flag it
Subject: I would think it is lytic then, but if unsure flag it
It seems your patient either had a replacement or fracture earlier (is there arthritis in the hx?) I often hear lytic lesions or lytic lines in the areas you mention on patients with arthritis/oseoarthritis. Lysis is the process of destruction of something (in this case, bone), which seems to have been ruled out by these x-rays.

This is 1 of many definitions from an "URBAN" dictionary: MACK
mack is a flexible word as a verb; it can be used in pretty much any situation and its meaning will be understood.
Thus, in your case, maybe the dictator chose the word mack as slang for height?.....because 23.5 cm is equal to 9.25 inches. I used this as an example, as I believe you were referring to dietary in a Parkinson patient?....Wish I could assist more.
