It keeps me on my toes, espcially when the question may be an obscure one in a specialty I may not be doing at the present time. Okay, I have also seen some very basic, easily-referenced questions here at times and thought "did that MT actually even graduate their school or read their references?" but then we have built a strong, cohesive community here and it feels good to help.....don't we all have those "duh" moments when we are exhausted, busy, harried, and just need a hand? I hope we can all keep helping each other, but googlinng will never take the place of the rows and rows of Stedmans and Mosbys and Dorlands, etc., and continuing education credits. I do hope no MT short-changes his or her self by not searching out terms, it is a great way to sharpen your education and also your listening skills.

hearing a doc dictate "melanotic" once in awhile (yes, I change it to melenic)...it reminds me that they are not infallible & that no, I shouldn't believe everything they say or (especially) spell. I double-check constantly, & to me, having a doc spell something is MT for "look this up."

I really enjoy coming to this board, especially the word, drug and abbrev. forums. ... I like the challenge to see if I can figure things out, but I REALLY ENJOY learning new things from all the other posts!!!
Just a week or so ago, I had been on browsing the posts before signing on to work, and one of my first jobs came across a term that I had just been reading about here!

MTs like you and NewbieMT who show a lot of promise.
To answer your questions, I majored in medical secretarial and got my AA in that. After that, it was tough finding a job with no experience, but I managed to get a great job at an ivy-league teaching hospital. I worked as a medical secretary in the outpatient department for 7 years and then decided I hated the "front line" with the phones, appointments, yelling patients, screaming doctors (and doing transcription as part of that job, too), that I branched off into transcription. So, in total, over 30 years. Even after all this time, I haven't forgotten how terrifying it was starting out, so I really feel for you guys.
I predict you will enjoy it. (nm)

Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

good/well
Subject: good/well
According to Webster's, good as an adjective and standard after verbs like "feel" and "taste". It goes on to say that both "good" and "well" are used to express good health, but "I feel good" may connote good spirits in addition to good health. I was always taught in English class that one feels "good," not well. If you feel well, your fingers are working correctly. Since it says that good and well are both used to express health, perhaps you can take your choice. I would write that he looks good.
