If you have any questions on how to pronounce medications, I have found a great tool for this problem. If you go to sayitrite.com they have a audio cd that pronounces like 400 meds, brand and generic. I am a pharm. tech. and this has helped me alot.

British/European pronunciation
Subject: British/European pronunciation
Does the dictator have a British or foreign accent? Many British doctors pronounce "cephalad" as "Kephalad". For some reason that's how they learn to pronounce it. Could be the dictator is using a hard "K" sound for the soft "C" sound.
I bet that's it. It fits, but she botched the pronunciation! Thanks. nm

...Dictator simply gives visual acuity statistics in prior sentence, then states "The ________ visual field exam is intact." I got two of these reports one right after another, first time ever doing this dictator or this specialty. While researching for the second time I actually waited to get the detail report on the prior chart so I could see what QA had entered - waste of time! They left it blank too.
Of course this dictator also lists drugs like "Actone" (probably Actonel) and grossly mispronounced several others, so who knows? Motalakian, tularakian....weird!

questioning whether either was 1 word, but if they had 2 separate meanings; i.e.; patellAfemoral versus patellOfemoral. I've seen it written both way on a Google search.
From what I've just been reading, patellAfemoral syndrome relates more to knee conditions with: cartilage damage; menisci, ligament and capsular damage; a sequelae after patellar fracture, dislocation or subluxation; sequelae after knee surgery; quadriceps tendinitis; iliotibial band friction syndrome; pre-and infrapatellar bursitis; and pesanserinus bursitis.
Thanks again for your interest.

I ended up sending to QA as this doc mispronounces meds (and procedures) all the time, so not sure if he was mangling a common med, or if there's a new treatment. Thanks for trying, though.

Thanks for your reply. She's saying either LSH or LFH please sm
Subject: Thanks for your reply. She's saying either LSH or LFH please sm
I've never heard LSH dictated along with FSH and TSH, but I have heard LH.
Abbreviations book has LSH with two definitions: lutein-stimulating hormone - lymphocyte-stimulating hormone
Anyway, LH is listed as luteinizing hormone, so I'm wondering if lutein-stimulating hormone would be the same thing.
I can rule out LFH. The only definition I can find in abbreviation book is left femoral hernia. There's nothing listed in my lab/path book.
Thanks for your help.
