Subject: deviation of the tongue
I don't have a clue what this doctor is saying. The patient has a history of ____ malformation with subsequent surgery. Since surgery, she has had a tongue that deviates to the left. It was crooked due to muscle atropy and ____.
The blanks sound like "guillare malformation." It actually sounds like the doctor is saying G-R-E malformation. At one point the G has a hard sound, but when he says it again he uses a soft G sound (like J).
Thanks for any help.

Tongue of tissue
Subject: Tongue of tissue
Anyone ever heard of a "tongue" of intestinalized tissue. Pnt has Barret's and is having an EGD and twice I heard what sounds like "tongue" of tissue.
Sentences are -
1. Preop diagnosis - Tongue of intestinalized tissue extending from the GE junction.
2. On withdrawing the scope the patient's GE junction was regular with a tongue of pink tissue extending less than 2 cm.
I can't find it. Thanks.

Tongue-tied doc today--humulin N 15 mg s/m
Subject: Tongue-tied doc today--humulin N 15 mg s/m
I've been typing one of my usual docs today, and apparently she's having a bad RX Monday or something. The latest one s/l Humulin N insulin 15 mg at bedtime. The bummer for me is that I won't take a chance on a med, so look up stuff I already know. I hate having to leave QA Markers on those I'm not 100% sure about, but I'd rather waste my time making sure (for the huge bucks I get) than to get it wrong.
Thanks!
