Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Oh, boy, it's my second favorite dictator -- an ESL who puts an " um " sound at the end of almost every word. I feel like I know the word that should fill in the blank below, but it's eluding me this morning. There MAY be an " uh " sound as the first syllable, before the " doe-stent " sounds, but it's heard to tell, because she mutters so many " uh " and " um " sounds along the way. This is a 37-year-old white female with a history of stage II breast carcinoma, status post mastectomy, who is on ________ [sounds like doe-stent] chemotherapy with adriamycin and Cytoxan. I've listened over and over to try to hear " adjuvant " but that's not it. Any help sincerely appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I don't know if this is what you are needing, but I found DepoCyt. I didn't really understand this but thought it might give you a direction. Below is a little bit of what I found.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Thanks, Karl. As a matter of fact, Zofran was featured elsewhere in the report, but I'm pretty certain that's not what I was hearing at the blank. I've turned in the report now, and this one was much worse than her usual dictation, so it had several blanks. I'll let the list know if/when I find out what she was saying.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Thanks, Debi. I'm not sure, but the report has now gone to QA for completion of multiple blanks.
