No, doc was referring to ability to eat
Subject: No, doc was referring to ability to eat
The previous sentence had talked about having a swallow study and having dysphagia, so I am sure the word did not refer to word-finding or memory impairment. Doc very clearly stated "pneumestic" -- I just cannot find anything that closely resembles that word, and I sure don't know where QA got it from.

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it. I responded very simply to that. I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so. I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus. This is all correct. What is your problem. I was trying to help an MT with correct and verfified medical transcription help, now I know why I stay away from any message boards, always someone who wants a fight. Whatever.

I hate even asking this question because I'm sure it is something everyone has heard, but lately I have been doing so many oncology and renal reports that I am getting rusty with everything else.
Doctor mentions a distal radius fracture with "dorsal translation across the pyses of the distal foramen."
I can't find the word pyses. I know how I spelled it is not correct. But can someone please help!!?

Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....
Subject: Word Help for Pex - sorry not yet, but ....
Hi, CC ...
I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you regarding "pex", but I have just contacted a GI doctor friend of mine to ask him if he is familiar with the word. You said that it was used in a sentence with the phrase: "the esophagus was pexed", so I thought that maybe, since he does EGDs, he might be familiar with that word.
Once thing I ask ... please ... when you find your answer - and you will - please post it on the board so that we who are just learning surgcal dictation can add it to our repetoire of weird words. PLEASE? Thanks, and good luck. I hope I have an answer for you later this evening, or that someone else does. Judy H.
