Doc dictates what s/l "Sysco 500 mg with D." Spells cyso. I'm assuming it's calcium with D, but I can't find any calcium supplement that sounds like Sysco!
Thanks for any help!

I appreciate your help. I have a PDR that I got from my mom. She's a RN, who just started working for Hospice actually, but I couldn't get in touch with her to ask her about this word. Anyway, she gave me her PDR, but I really like to use www.rxlist.com. I find it a very useful site especially if you don't know how to spell the name of the drug or you just have a "sounds like".
I haven't been in the business long enough to have to have gone without the internet. I can imagine you would have had to have been quite the Sherlock Holmes.

you have exhausted all your references, I'd type it the way he spelled it and then flag it, saying that the doctor spelled it that way. That covers you. Docs are notorious bad spellers, but he might be privy to something so new it's not on the books yet.

Subject: 99% when a dictator spells anything
whenever they spell anything, I look it up because 99% of the time the dictator has spelled whatever they are trying to spell INCORRECTLY....it's a general rule of thumb for most MTs to do this - look up anything a dictator spells.........because we ALL know this about the dictators after 25+ years..........for some of us....in this biz.

Subject: Med help--Dr. spells it "popinsisole"
I can't find anything close in my QLEDR. This is in a medication list, so I have no clue what it is for and no dosage is given other than 1 tablet once a day. This is a cardiac patient with multiple cardiac diagnoses. No other past medical history listed. Any ideas? He spells the majority of his medications incorrectly and I have been able to find all except this one.

Subject: correct - if an MD spells anything, RED FLAG...SM
if an MD/dictator spells ANYTHING, it's a RED FLAG to look that spelling up because 95 percent of the time they misspelled whatever they were trying to spell. MDs were not great in grammar and/or spelling (for the most part) - they were great in other areas. *lol*

and I'll bet he is actually saying h-i-a-t-u-s
or maybe he is off a little in his spelling, but close enough for you to know he means hiatus hernia.
