Subject: orthopedics--type of shoe--tarsal? Harstal? Harshall? Partial?
As you can see, I am really reaching for this one. This is a type of shoe that is worn when someone has an ankle fracture. I'm thinking it could be "tarsal shoe" but then it almost sounds like "Harstel shoe" or something else entirely. I need an expert on shoe types and/or orthopedics to help me!

you can type just part of a word into the dictionary search, and it will bring words up that have those letters in it - even if they are in the middle of the word.

Subject: I thought MPJ could apply to either carpal or tarsal... sm
In my abbreviations book metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal are both listed under MPJ. Like you, when they dictate MPJ and it needs to be expanded, I have both codes mcpj and mtpj to avoid an error.

Tarsal makes sense, though pronator isn't part of it
Subject: Tarsal makes sense, though pronator isn't part of it
He could be just leaving out the "pronator" part. I wish you could hear this guy. If he were taking you out to a romantic candlelit dinner at an expensive restaurant, his accent would make you melt. But as a dictator, he sucks.
I-PRO shoe?
Subject: I-PRO shoe?
The doc is describing an offloading shoe. He pronounces it "I-PRO" but I can't find that anywhere. The closest I can get is in my Stedman's Equipment Words, "ipos heel relief shoe," but the doctor specifically says it is to shift weight TO the heel, for a forefoot amputation site wound. Anybody?

concerning partial glossectomy
Subject: concerning partial glossectomy
The phrase he uses is enteral partial glossectomy. Am I hearing the enteral word correctly? I cannot verify this and it really does not sound right because enteral would be referring more to the intestine. I'm thinking it is another word and I'm just not catching it tonight.
Honestly - the last 10 days have been simply cram-packed with all kinds of things and I am run down and just about brain dead tonight! I'm sure you all can relate but if someone could help with this word, I'd appreciate it!! Thanks to all!
Here's a partial sample
Subject: Here's a partial sample
Procedure: Patient was brought to the operating room where general anesthesia was administered. Examination under anesthesia revealed a uterus of approximately 8 to 10 week size. No adnexal masses were appreciated. Patient was prepped and draped in the usual manner for vaginal surgery. A weighted retractor was placed in the posterior aspect of the vagina. Anterior lip of cervix grasped with tenaculum. The cervix was then progressively dilated with Pratt dilators, and a #8 curved suction curette easily introduced into the uterine cavity. Products of conception were then evacuated. The uterine cavity was then sharply curetted and additional tissues sent to pathology. The tenaculum and retractor were then removed, and procedure was thus completed. Estimated blood loss was minimal. Patient tolerated the procedure well and taken to recovery room in stable condition.
