I figure even if they made it up, if I can figure out what it means, and this one's obvious, then everyone else can too. Every single medical word is not in stedman's electronic dictionary. but this one's fine.

Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
Subject: Both Stedman's and Dorlands defines vasectomy as surgical removal of the vas deferens
or a portion of it specifically to induce sterility. It absolutely is not correct to leave vasectomy in a female patient's report. It is wrong! Nowhere in any of my reference books can I find vasectomy referring to anything other than the vas deferens for male sterility, NOWHERE. I don't care how you break up the word, you can not change its meaning as a whole.
The QA person who filled it in is a boob who is simply filling in blanks for the sake of sending a report with no blanks. The report simply should have been sent with the blank and a note drawing the physician's attention to the discrepancy.

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.

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.
