diabetic foot testing is usually monofilament testing.

This is what it sounds like he is saying, patient has ulcers on legs, doing neuro physical exam of lower extremities TIA

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-be´tēs mel´ĭ-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.      

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:

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!

The doctor is saying the "rest of the review of systems are negative." Shouldn't it be "rest is negative."  ?? Or is rest considered pleural?  Help me, I can't think today!!

You know what's bad? I have heard so much ESL butchering of grammar that improper grammar is starting to sound correct to me.

She has a history of rectal prolapse and had ____water placed and there was some question if the ____water perforated her vagina creating a rectovaginal fistula.

It sounds like he is saying "tertiary" but that does not make sense.  I read somewhere that warm water is sometimes used to reduce a prolapse but I'm not coming up with a word for "warm" even in the thesaurus that sounds like that. 

Thanks for the help!  You all are very dependable!

Ok, got it. It is L-thyroxine.

In ENT surgery.. the graft was meshed S/L  "to 1-1/2 to 1 and placed over the muscle.  This 1-1/2 to 1.... not sure how to type.. is it a ratio? TIA
