melenic or melanotic
Subject: melenic or melanotic
I believe that is not correct. It is melenic stools. look at the definition. melanotic refers to the skin, melenic refers to black, tarry.
melenic versus melanotic
Subject: melenic versus melanotic
melanotic is a proper word, as in melanotic urine when a patient has melanoma....but it should be melenic when pertaining to stool.

yep, they make up their own words........good thing we are all researchers....oh and if MDs spell a drug? 95% they are spelling them incorrectly.....as a matter of fact, IF an MD spells a drug that I don't know, I AUTOMATICALLY look it up.....like a knee-jerk reflex....*lol*
It is melenic.
Subject: It is melenic.
Melanotic is a word but it pertains to melanin or skin pigment. Melenic pertains to melena or black stool. Note the As and Es. Many doctors use this term incorrectly, and many MTs too! I always change it.

I think this must be it. The patient is a 72 yo in the ER with diarrhea so I have no clues as to her past medical history. Ugggh, hate it when docs spell also.

I can only come up with some wild guesses at the moment, such as:
get formolent = ___ for a minute
OR
get formolent = get 4 ____
as in "the wound bed was allowed to ___ for a minute to control some bleeding" or "the wound bed was allowed to get 4 ____ to control some bleeding"
I wish I could be more help...

Could he/she be saying: Appendectomy, "apparently" 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy. It doesn't really make sense with the parentheses, makes it sound like the patient had 3 D&Cs at the time of the appendectomy.

The only thing that comes to mind is that he is possibly saying "OC", meaning oral contraceptive. I'd have to blank him if that's not what he says.

Actually after listening to that one at least 50 times, I could get nothing else from it. A Cobb can be a retractor or elevator. In this case, it was used to scrape vertebrae...I did find micro-Cobb. But it really didn't sound a bit like that. Macoa or Mikoa perhaps, but I tried every spelling I could think of. Oh well...it's a mystery, and the report went to proofing, but it left me curious. Thanks!

Not sure, Harsh attitude meant for me?? I don't see any anon posts either?? All seem to have a name/initial. The written word gets lost in translation, can't possibly know what is really meant, no inflection heard. Glad you asked though. Perhaps it is how you are reading the posts, ya think? My post was meant just like I said, if somebody wants it in a certain way that is the way you do it. You don't argue and trying to "be right" If you go searching to get an okay to do it another way, thid will only create problems for you. You need to think on it.

Subject: Hmmm. He's not saying "denudations" by any chance? sm
I'm thinking it might read:
Denudations x3, right second and fifth DIPJ, and right hallux.
I could be way off. I don't know what nucleations could be unless he has his own meaning for the term. Denudations would make sense if the patient had injured his foot (degloving) or if it were ulcers denuding the epithelium.
You can always just leave it and flag it "as dictated." That would cover you.
Wish I could be of more help.

I had to send it back already with blanks and a note to my coordinator for some help. this sounds pretty close, as in the note to the referring physician, he mentioned a urine test for this too. It is hard to believe a one year old baby would have something like this though, but I do appreciate your help. I will let you know when I find out definitely what it is. oh, and I am hopped up on Hershey kisses with caramel, so don't feel bad! LOL. thanks again. I have a feeling this might be it.
