The new doctor I'm transcribing for likes to say "some shotty anterior cervical lymphadenopathy" fairly regularly. I can't document "shotty" anywhere. She even spells this out for me. I've looked in Taber's, here at MT Desk, and in a regular Webster's dictionary and all I come up with is shoddy, but not shotty.

Any help???

I'm just sooooo tired. I think I best quit now and give it another shot in the morning.

Thanks y'all.

Laura

Laura, it's in here: http://www.prenhall.com/health/healthprofessions/transcription/wordlist/hows_that.htm

Incidentally, Annie, I think this is a good candidate for the "Stumper terms" list.

Thank you so much. Now I can go to bed with a clear mind. . .

I'm definitely adding that link to my (in)famous "book of knowledge".

Thanks again, and g'night.

It's here, Ann.
http://www.mtdesk.com/lstphysl.shtml In the neck portion of the PE terminology list.

One of these days I'm going to get to those word lists and update them. Always willing to accept help with that task if anyone is interested.
