Not all words would get the extra t. I think it depends on the vowels that precede the t. Getting, not geting. Sitting, not siting. Beating, for example, is an exception. My bad.

Actually we are in some cases responsible for the content.  It is the opinion of a nurse friend of mine that we shouldn't be since we are not in the chain of responsibility.  However, when a doctor dictates Synthroid 100 mg do you type what he says?  What if the BP is 210/100 and he says hypotension.  We don't type that if we don't want a poor audit and in some people's cases, poor audits equal pay cuts.  So yes we are responsible for pertinent medical content.  In my opinion if a doctor says something rude or ignorant, leave a blank and let him type it or rethink what he said.

Dear Oldtimer:

Thanks so much for the scissors advice. Indeed that is what she was saying. Her last name is Johnson, so there is no excuse for her poor enunciation of words!

I appreciate your help.

There's a plastic sheath that they use initially to place the sling and then they place scissors or a clamp between the urethra and the sling for support. I would think they would need to remove them, although some of them don't (insert embarrassed face here). I did some surgical reports, my first year working, for a hospital and they did lots of transobturator and tension-free tape procedures. It seems like they always "removed" the scissors. Never heard of an incisor in this procedure. :-)

Quit correcting typos. We need support, not correction.
Subject: Quit correcting typos. We need support, not correction.

This is not direct specifically at you. I wish everyone would quit being so darn picky in these forums. We are all tired and just needing help on the question. We are all typing without spell check in this program which we are all very accustom to relying on. Give us all a break....and yes...I am SURE that I have a typo in here and don't care. This is where we come for support, not correction.
