I have not had any radiation training. Could someone please verify if this is right?
Patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the left oropharynx:
He received 44 gray in 22 treatment/fractions by the right and left lateral fills of the base of the tongue and then received a concurrent 50 gray in 24 treatment/fractions via AP field into the supraclavicular area followed by an additional 16 gray in 18 treatment/fractions via reduced right and left lateral off-cord fields and right and left posterior neck fields.
Is that "gray" word correct?

This is an OP on the lumbar spine, laminectomy and foraminotomy. At the beginning he says what sounds like "The patient had electromonitoring *pads from the bases applied to the appropriate areas*"
I just don't know about the "pads from the bases" part here. I have done surgeries for him many times, but he is mumbling through this and it does not sound like something he has said before. Thanks to all!

development of s/l meese aside a seven itch with the radiation therapy
Subject: development of s/l meese aside a seven itch with the radiation therapy
Here's the whole sentence. This is a patient with rectal cancer. "Radiation was notably stopped because of the development of a moderate to severe [meese aside a seven itch] with the radiation therapy perirectally." He went on to say that the patient had recovered from this. He was having loose bowel movements, but they were being controlled with Imodium. I'm not sure if the loose bowel movement part was still related to the problem in question or if he was moving on to another problem.
Alternatively, I could also hear "moose aside a sudden itch", which is funnier, but I think the above one is a little closer. I thought maybe "meese aside" is some kind of "cyte" or some kind of "site." I also think it's possible that "a sudden itch" is "associated" just because it would make sense to have associated there, but it doesn't sound that close so I'm not sure.
