with this one, thanks to your answers... still hearing something like "Pradus" but instead of obturate, was saying on THE RIGHT. definitely NOT piriformis or sure does not sound like it, then goes on to gluteus medius and maximus.

What is FUV1, used along with FEV1?? Never heard of it and cannot find. Also he also states FVC as being forced ventiltory capacity, which I know is called forced vital capacity; wonder if I should transcribe a non-word.

as to what a doctor MAY be dictating. Doctors make mistakes all the time. It is up to the individual MT to check out the validity of any info they ultimately transcribe. That's what I would do. Any MT who transcribes a "suggestion" should not be working as an MT. ;-)

Doctor is describing a patient's finger pain. He says:
"At her last visit she did have a maintenance interscalene block and reported several months of improvement in pain to a level of 3/10 when used in combination with her other conservative therapies. These have included Lac-Hydrin applications, paraffin wax applications, and (s/l "co-bayne") and protective (s/l "cutlets") to the left ring finger. The patient has dystonia and extreme difficulty in bending at the PIP joint from a functional standpoint. Numeric pain score is an 8/10..."
First word sounds like Cobain or Cobayne, pronounced just like the last name of the late lead singer of Nirvana. Second word sounds just like cutlets, like veal cutlets.
I have no idea at all what these two words are, and he repeats them in both the subjective and in the assessment. Can anyone save me from leaving four blanks? I'm sick and exhausted with a sick four year old at home, and I'm feeling a bit fussy and frustrated and would be SO thankful for the help.
Thanks!
