She states that she has tried multiple medicines over the last year or two in reference to her headaches.  She has tried different triptans including Maxalt and Imitrex, none of which work.  She states Midrin works minimally, but the medicine that works the best is "her or-go-to-meen."

I can find epencephalic, but pancephalic or pan cephalic seems like a better choice and sounds more like what she is saying.  I just can't find it in a reference.  Is that a common term?  Thanks in advance!!!

q. hour of sleep
Subject: q. hour of sleep

I e-mailed AAMT with this same question about a month ago.  Their response to me was as follows:


"He may be dictating "hour of sleep" because he expects you to use the abbreviation h.s. However, this particular abbreviation is on the Dangerous Abbreviations List, and we are encouraged to transcribe this as either "nightly" or "at bedtime." If the dictator questions you about this, you can show him the appendix in your Book of Style or refer him to the Dangerous Abbreviations List under Patient Safety Goals on the JCAHO web site (www.jcaho.org)."

Subject: If she has intractable headache that is clearly positional, a s/l "wood" patch could be considered.

After spinal fluid analysis...I told her to spend most of the next 24 hours recumbent, drink plenty of fluids, and to use some caffeine, as this often does help the pain. If she has intractable headache that is clearly positional, a __ patch could be considered.

Subject: a low threshold to having pt have a sleep study.

Question of obstructive sleep apnea – I told the patient to talk with his wife about stopping breathing while he is sleeping at night.  I also asked him to carefully to look at his drowsiness during the day.  I would have a low threshold to having this patient have a sleep study.
