half a response here but is it a lead? sm
Subject: half a response here but is it a lead? sm

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.

I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.

I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!

I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.

Subject: Here is the sweet email that my lead from the MTSO sent me

I know, I have an OB clinic that is doing the same thing.  Sometimes you just have to say okay if that's the way you want it that's what you'll get and go on.  It's hard though, especially when you take pride in your work.

 

I noticed right away that you had fixed the templates and it was wonderful.  I found each one I needed right away.

 

Don't let it bother you, I think you did a great job cleaning those up, they were a mess.

I spell them out (i.e., second, third, fourth) because I am old and disslike what the word processor does to the alternative. I do, however, do a suprascript for exponents (i.e., "cm2" with the "2" smaller and above), but that's just me.
