a specific term to quantify the patient's well being, "performance with" doesn't mean the same thing. 
Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?
Subject: Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?

Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative.  Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him.  He denies hearing any voices..... 


Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example.  Any input?

Subject: The stocking part would refer to

the lower extremities, so if they are just talking about upper extremities they might just stay glove distribution. Some books show "stocking glove distribution," but I always type it "stocking-glove distribution," because it seems more logical. Otherwise it seems like the word "and" is missing to me. Then again, hyphens are being dropped all over the place, LOL.

Subject: apparently patients sometimes refer to it as H1c. sm

Try googling H1c, lots of hits  from (apparently) patients.  Also, wondered if slurring could make "an A1c" sound like your HUNC ? Also found at least one reference to histoplasmosis marker of H1C.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

In assessment if dictates DNR-how would you transcribe that? I know I have to expand, but would I capitalize it or just leave it do not resuscitate?
Status
Subject: Status

No, I said status means "with." Replace the word "status" with the word "with" since they mean the same thing and then you don't need a comma. :-)

Subject: Status

Maybe you're getting a different vibe from the doc than I would. I would think that he meant decreasing performance in say- his activity level. If he meant decreasing performance status, he would actually be saying "decreasing performance condition." Really doesn't make much sense, even for an ESL, while a lot of them do put the noun before the adjective. :-) Status usually means at the present time where status post means the time afterwards. I wouldn't think he meant "decreasing performance status" meaning the condition of decreasing performance but rather "decreasing performance" with nausea, diarrhea, etc. It doesn't seem necessary for him to add the word "status" after "performance, where "decreasing performance," status, i.e, conditions of nausea, diarrhea, etc. would be necessary. But, the doc's ESL, so who really knows. :-)
