Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Nel, Your doctor is probably saying osteo, which is the docs shorthand way of saying osteomyelitis, which means the infection has gotten into the bone. I always write out osteomyelitis rather than giving them their shortcut just to clarify. Margaret >>> 11/07/02 10:21PM >>> This is a 75-year-old female who comes in with bilateral lower extremity cellulitis with wound and ulcers, questionable infection of the wounds and ulcers, but she does have bilateral lower extremity cellulitis. The patient also has possibility of ostia of the lower extremities. ostia of the lower extremities???? Thanks..Nel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 In the days BC (Before Computers), I worked in house and never heard this word before. I remember spending at LEAST half an hour looking through the few books available. I remember MANY different possible spellings, just from the sound of it, and having not a clue where to start. In the main dictionary I had to go back and forth between definitions of different words because I didn't know what the words in the definitions meant! At long last: THERE IT WAS: coryza!!! I was SO proud and SO tickled I found this word! And I've never forgotten it. Especially when the definition was nothing more than the common cold! Augh! He couldn't just say THAT?! fer gwarsh sakes. Whenever I see the word, I remember The Good Ol' Days. patb Where the fun art of word research is lost To production work.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Doctor dictates the following: The patient was admitted with severe constipation and hemorrhoidal pain secondary to high-dose **s/l oraxinal** use secondary to uncontrolled pain from stage IV metastatic lung cancer. Any idea what my sounds like might be? I'm not sure if I'm looking for a med, or a general term to describe a type of narcotics? Thank you all!
