Subject: Blood type and screen is *O positive negative.* Hemoglobin... sm

Ok, I'm wondering if I'm missing something here... Should be either O+ or O-, not both as stated or am I totally in the dark here?

suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive
Subject: suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive

This is dictated in a neuro operative report on a patient with Parkinson disease.  The doctor is doing insertion of bilateral deep brain stimulators:


Macro stimulation using 0 negative 3 positive pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling of the left side at threshold of 2.5.


or would it be easier to understand like this?


Macro stimulation using 0-/3+ pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling on the left side at threshold of 2.5. 


I honestly don't really understand what I'm transcribing here, so maybe a comma should be after the 0-/3+.

Depends on what ports you have on laptop and type of cable you have on the screen...sm
Subject: Depends on what ports you have on laptop and type of cable you have on the screen...sm

If you have the matching ports and cables, I believe you can do this.  I use my regular sized kb on my daughter's laptop all the time.  Should be the same concept?  If your screen has a usb cable, plug it into the laptop usb port.  The laptop should recognize the new hardware and "install" it. 


If you have a parallel port, the kind with the prongs that insert into the tower and then screws to tighten, you may have to install a parallel port into your laptop.  Don't know if this is as easy to do as on a desktop or not.
