Sorry about that. She is having leg pain problems (sciatica, maybe) and has taken some injections. Perhaps it could be Formadrol? I’ll relisten. Thanks.
The stocking part would refer to
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.


Outpatient hold admission versus inpatient
Subject: Outpatient hold admission versus inpatient

Please read this with a little grain of salt, since I don't have enough info to be sure in this case, but this has happened to me before. Most hospitals and most insurance companies have a "24 hour hold bed" policy of some sort. The patient is considered an outpatient, (and charged the lesser "hold bed" charge) even though admitted to the hospital, for the first 24 hours, or 23 hours and 59 minutes. Maybe this doc is saying that the EKG was done at that time in the admission - hour #23, minute #____. Again, use caution, and if this is the case, the doctor sure SHOULD have said "at 23 hours X minutes after" admission or clarified it somehow. But this is just food for thought, since I have had docs dictate using the number of hours since the patient was admitted, though I'm happy to say they the docs always made it known that that's the way they were counting down the hold bed time.

Subject: I refer to original Tessier book. Does the new one still have sm

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.

Subject: butchiery type physiology ?? See mg for details. Thanks

The remainder of the liver was heterogenous on the portal phase study, which maybe due to contrast bolus.  However, extension of the tumor into the right lobe cannot be excluded.  Possibility of butchiery type physiology should be considered since the IVC was slit-like.  Splenomegaly was noted along with ascites consistent with portal hypertension.  There was evidence of focal chronic pancreatitis.

Doc has a bit of an accent, so not sure what he is saying...


Donating a kidney should be a completely *outeristic/alteristic* procedure and that one should never feel obligated or coerced to donate.
