Subject: Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?

Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative.  Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him.  He denies hearing any voices..... 


Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example.  Any input?


Could doc be shortening "radiofrequency" or "radiographic" and saying "radio check?&#
Subject: Could doc be shortening "radiofrequency" or "radiographic" and saying "radio check?".....sm

There are several "radio" studies for pulmonary hypertension and OSA, radiocardiography (radiographic studies of the heart structures), radiocardiogams, radioelectrocardiography (RECG), etc, as well as radiofrequency catheteriztion procedures.  Does he mention other studies, past or present?  Hope this helps somewhat!  Many of my docs and surgeons love to shorten everything when dictating, can be confusing if you don't know their procedures well.

static in the merriam websters dictionary means "standing or fixed in one place". I would use that. A brace to immobilize after surgery makes sense to me.

It is consistent with a tinea infection.  I have explained to her that these infections can take quite some time to be treated because the medications we use are static rather than seidel.
