Why did you then write that her hyphens are correct and then you correct yourself, stating that no hyphen should be between gestational and age?
That's what RockinMT said...

40-week, appropriate-for-gestational-age female infant.

This is ridiculous.

The right way is, as I stated:

40-week, appropriate for gestational age, female infant.

You are all confused by hyphens, you do not know how to use and commas you do not know how to use.

I do not want to pick a fight, it is YOU who just cannot admit that I am right and you are wrong.
I assume that you are all republicans, not being able to admit defeat. LOL !

As long as a testee is allowed to use reference material, etc. why should they not ask a question here? I personally research all of my own questions, but I do help out those that ask on this site, as well, if I know the answer. Besides, who made the above poster the "tester police" anyway? I saw no complaint from the administrator concerning multiple posts for a similar question.

He (or she, can't tell!) is saying peri J-tube abscess, which I am taking to mean there is an abscess in or around the J-tube insertion site, but peri-J-tube looks terrible and can't find periabscess or peri-abscess to reword the sentence. I have had this same dictator for the last 2 1/2 hours since I logged on!!!! 
Agree with you...

some people quote from this thing like it is the Bible or something, and it just is not. There are A LOT of doctors out there who do not adhere by the BOS and prefer their own guidelines. It does not make them wrong. It is just a matter of preference, more than anything. What's the AAMT gonna do, slap your hand if you don't use their guidelines?? shheesh. what a rip!
I would agree with you that...
Subject: I would agree with you that...

it's either "skull base structures" or even more likely "skull and bony structures".   I have never seen "scobi" in my years either, but see how it can be easily misunderstood as that for one the phrases above with a fast dictator.

It is a shame when the doctors do not specify what exactly they want quoted.  Tough call, but I agree "too busy".  You kind of have to put yourself in the doc's place.  Doc asks:  Are you exercising?  Pt. states:  "No, too busy.", or "No, I'm too bus."  That sort of thing....

with anything, except the 80.00 they want you to spend on it every year, when they keep changing things just to make someone buy it. I can live without it, and my docs say Baker's cyst and want it typed that way.

Enclosure (MRI results)


I believe the Enclosure is for the therapist's review of the MRI results since the letter is addressed to the therapist.

What I do...


The patient is a pleasant, elderly, overweight, chronically ill-appearing, 72-year-old white female.


That's just my way, as I use commas to separate adjectives (any description before you get to the word female).

you typed:  **You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine but not Mercy Hospital emergency department.**


I do not agree.....


You would type Mercy Hospital Department of Emergency AND Mercy Hospital Emergency Department. 


You would NOT capitalize emergency department if you typed *emergency department at Mercy Hospital* or *radiation oncology department at Mercy Hospital....


that's how I was taught 25 yrs ago..........

The way you have it looks correct, but if there is no "and" after "flexion", I would either use a semicolon or start a new sentence.

Subject: I agree exactly with what you said about

verbatim. I had an account that was strictly verbatim--it did not matter what the doctor/NP/PAC etc. said, we typed it exactly that way. It was stupid, but they had had so much "editing" done that was incorrect that the hospital made everythign the responsibility of the dictator. Even leaving out an "a" or "the" in the report it came directly back to the MT. They listened to every single one. This was a large teaching facility, not a small hospital. Editing has gotten completely out of hand in some cases when the "MT" decides that he/she knows what is best.

agree with below, either way
Subject: agree with below, either way

But if you're following BOS-2, you're supposed to use the combined form for adjectives, inferolateral. (BOS-2, page 25).

So I guess add -ly to the combined adjective form to follow the BOS style, inferolaterally. Maybe?

I was just stating that my guess is it is 1/8 as that converts to 0.125 which is a dose that comes up for this, where if I put in 1/8 or 18, nothing comes up. I should not have even posted because I am not sure that is it either - LOL. I guess I was thinking out loud through my fingers.
