do you hear the "s" sound or a "ic" sound on the first one?
lysis (ly·sis) (li´sis) [Gr. “dissolution; a loosing, setting free, releasing”] 1. destruction, as of cells by a specific lysin. 2. decomposition, as of a chemical compound by a specific agent. Cf. degradation. 3. mobilization of an organ by division of restraining adhesions. 4. gradual abatement of the symptoms of a disease; cf. crisis (def. 1).
Pulses are measured 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ (or minus)
doc slang for lytic? Subject: doc slang for lytic?
I'm pretty much clueless with regular clinic work. I basically went from school to typing ortho, so there's a lot of things I learned in school that I've never applied, and this is one of them.
At any rate, I learned it was mmHg, but with the doc dictating just mm, it threw me a little bit and I was wondering if I should type it as mm or mmHg, or does it matter...
Sorry I was so vague in my question. I typed it out fast, as the phone was ringing.
Patient delivered prematurely and her infant was in the s/l inky - I assume she's giving a short term for incubator but don't know if there's a common abbv. I appreciate any help - thanks!
"say-a-lytic" process ?? Subject: "say-a-lytic" process ??
The patient has a nonhealing ulcer of the foot. Dictates what sounds like "No evidence of active "say-a-lytic" process.
I feel like this is on the tip of my tongue, but can't get it.
It seems your patient either had a replacement or fracture earlier (is there arthritis in the hx?) I often hear lytic lesions or lytic lines in the areas you mention on patients with arthritis/oseoarthritis. Lysis is the process of destruction of something (in this case, bone), which seems to have been ruled out by these x-rays.
Could hear lytic when I listened again. Thanks you all!!! Subject: Could hear lytic when I listened again. Thanks you all!!!
Patient suffers from depression, hypercholesterolemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease. Is on a med that sounds like ortazipine, ertazipine or something like that. Any ideas? TIA
tele?? plse see msg.... Subject: tele?? plse see msg....
Doc dictates: she had an arrhythmia that led to problems with her blood pressure, which led to problems with her mental status, which led to pulmonary problems, which led to being intubated and she was in the ICU for about a week, four of those days intubated. She was then in tele for another week after that.
Would it be telemetry? This is in a letter and I would rather use the whole form of the word. TIA

Patient has ear pain. Has had myringotomy tubes placed in the past.
The right TM was a little dull, with loss of landmarks and either a fluid s/l wave or some fluid related to the eardrum. There was no evidence of a myringotomy tube in the ear canal.
Fluid level? Does that work in this regard? Thanks.
lytic temporal bone lesion? nm Subject: lytic temporal bone lesion? nm
The patient is a candidate for a sentinel node biopsy based on the intermediate thickness melanoma. Despite the negative lymphscintogram, it is certainly reasonable on the day of surgery for her melanoma excision to inject ? radioisotope at the primary site and with the handheld gamma counter, we may still be fortunate enough to identify a sentinel node that we can biopsy.
He kind of mumbles the type of radioisotope to be injected and if anyone has any ideas, I can see if they match up to what he is "trying" to say! Thanks so much.
s/l curl defect? Plse see msg.. Subject: s/l curl defect? Plse see msg..
It appears the patient's wrap is intact but that the hiatal repair has come undone so the wrap has slipped up into her chest. Essentially there are only two things you can do about this; one is to do nothing and live with it and the other is operate, repair the curl defect and put the stomach back in the abdomen where it belongs.
The patient had port catheter placement. It was not an easy access surgery and it was placed via a left internal jugular approach and even the initial film showed it curling at the
s/l juxta??? juctious??? subclavian vein with the tip either in the superior vena cava or in an azygous branch.
Can't quite make out what he is saying there. Anyone have an idea? TIA.
