Subject: Zenker diverticulum removal in oral cavity, doc says s/l weirdoscope, SM

I swear he mentions "weirdoscope" 3 times...


The ______ scope was passed into the posterior pharynx and at the level of the cricopharyngeus, we entered a pouch which initially we thought to be the esophagus, but then we identified that as the Zenker. As we slowly removed we identified the true lumen of the esophagus. We were able to place the anterior bill of the ______ scope.............


TIA

Doc just said perf diverticulum
Subject: Doc just said perf diverticulum

I put it that way, but it bugs me.....this doc is usually very precise and he's not a fanatic about verbatim, but he definitely didn't say "perforated", he said "perf".


Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Some abbreviations I will type out anyway, depending on the doc, but I chose not to this time.  It still bugs me.


P.S.  It also bugs me that you can't use quotes in your subject line.  Arrrgghhh!!!
