Subject: apparently patients sometimes refer to it as H1c. sm
Try googling H1c, lots of hits from (apparently) patients. Also, wondered if slurring could make "an A1c" sound like your HUNC ? Also found at least one reference to histoplasmosis marker of H1C.

Subject: The stocking part would refer to
the lower extremities, so if they are just talking about upper extremities they might just stay glove distribution. Some books show "stocking glove distribution," but I always type it "stocking-glove distribution," because it seems more logical. Otherwise it seems like the word "and" is missing to me. Then again, hyphens are being dropped all over the place, LOL.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

not sure but I found one paragraph thru google about dacron wool........being used on a patient:
Once cooling to -79 C was complete the patient was lifted out of the Silcool bath, the outer, Silcool wetted plastic bag was stripped off and the patient was placed within a polyester cloth bag which was in turn placed inside a standard aluminum neurocan which had been precooled to -90 and packed with dacron
wool. Temperature probes were left externalized to the neurocan for subsequent cooling to -196 C.

Pain scale in leukemia patients
Subject: Pain scale in leukemia patients
Hi,
Is there a pain scale that is commonly referred to for leukemia patients? I'm doing a clinic note on a patient, and in the PE section, I hear something that sounds like ecot 0 (zero). The first thing that pops into my head is Ficat, but I don't think that's what it would be. I often hear doctors mention the pain scale rating right along with the vital signs, and that's where this is dictated. I'm googling and researching this, but I'm not even sure where to look. Any suggestions?

Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) is a limited ultrasound examination directed solely at identifying the presence of free intraperitoneal or pericardial fluid. In the context of traumatic injury, free fluid is usually due to haemorrhage and contributes to the assessment of the circulation.

MRI is reviewed confirming the presence of a full-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear with early glenohumeral arthritis. The patient apparently had a long head biceps tendon operation as well, perhaps s/l an or in acoa.
The patient has another orthopaedic surgeon in New York that has done a shoulder procedure (he says this in the HPI) and I can't tell if he's saying "an" or "in" acoa.
Thanks MT50.
