Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Dr. often dictates rubor and redness but today she says rubrous (Got that as a choice in Word). I can't find this in Miriam Webster or anywhere else so I don't know why Word came up with this as a choice. Anyone know what she might be saying. The exact quote is " There is rubrous discoloration, which is also a bluish discoloration, left 5th digit at the PIPJ. There is no lesion at this time and no sign of ulceration noted.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Alice, In Stedman's Dermatology words, I have found " ruber " , " rubor " " rubra " and " rubrum " all which pertain to the skin. Although I also found " rufous " which pertains to an albinism condition. You may still be right, as you know as well as I, that doctors have a way of making up their own words. Well, back to work. Made up word Dr. often dictates rubor and redness but today she says rubrous (Got that as a choice in Word). I can't find this in Miriam Webster or anywhere else so I don't know why Word came up with this as a choice. Anyone know what she might be saying.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 That is what I originally typed but the spell check did not accept it. Then I looked into Miriam Webster and they did not recognize it. However Stedmans or word gave the choice of Rubrous? Can''t locate a definition though.
