Subject: plus/minus headache--I think
Doc is dictating intake report and says the patient has "some s/l plus/minus headache along with weakness." Is there such a thing as a plus/minus headache? If so, how would I type it? Please help as all my QA editors seem to be having PMS or a midlife crisis and I'd like to avoid sending this one in :-)

Subject: Cervix 690 minus 1 with swelling. sm
Should I type this as 6.90 minus 1 with swelling? Just had the same doctor with another patient coming in with labor, and she says "Cervix is 390 and 0." That should be 3.90, meaning the cervical length, right? But what about this patient of 690 minus 1 with swelling? Is that cervical length of 6.90? Thank you.

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!!!

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.
