if the patient had any major GI surgery in the past, like a Billroth II or Whipple? If so, stumpitis may be correct. Let me know! It's a long shot and it would be slang, but I need to know history to tell you for sure.

The word "chlamydia" is the genus and is only capitalized if it is followed by the name of the family. This per Dorland's Medical Dictionary. If the word "chlamydia" is not followed by the family name, the word is not capitalized.

I do not mind helping people with their questions, but would appreciate if you could give a little more context when asking. Perhaps a sentence or two containing the s/l or word in question or some sort of reference to what type report, body area, etc., would be welcome. It would greatly help me to help you.

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question. You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help. You need to give some example of what you are looking for. People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you. Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer.
That should read "9 point something" It didn't come out that way on the board for some reason...

Dorland's Medical Dictionary:
Pexis:
1. Fixation of matter by a tissue.
2. Surgical fixation, usually by suture.
Therefore pexed would be past tense, as in was pexed (or fixed).

I am not sure about this statement during a pulse oximetry reading, but elsewhere they will usually say "per physician reading, per ER physician/doctor reading" etc., or it could be "per pulse oximeter reading or per pulse oximeter."
