another made up word?
Subject: another made up word?
I have a doc that keeps dictating "dermatomy" when referring to skin incision. While this makes logical sense to me, I can't find this in any medical dictionary. Not sure what to put or just flag and bring it to her attention. Any ideas?

Subject: made-up word in hernia repair report?
I'm doing an operative report for repair of an incarcerated umbilical hernia, and the doctor says the hernia was dissected free of investing tissues. The s/l incarsum or incarserum appeared to be preperitoneal fat. I'm not familiar with this term, and I've attempted to find this through my own research efforts but am coming up empty.

Don't you hate it when you're just sure a word is made up and you look it up only to find that it IS a real word? The other day a doc said conspicuity and I thought, man, if I was going to play with the word conspicuous, I'd go with conspicuosity. I Googled it and sho nuf, conspicuity is a word.

I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school. However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.
