neural foramina
Subject: neural foramina
Correct way is neural foramina (pleural) and neural foramen (singular)
neural foramina
Subject: neural foramina
It's neural foramina. And "pleural" is only spelled this way if it means the thorax or chest cavity. That was probably just a typo in your original message and you meant to type "plural," meaning more than one. I've been a Texas state-certified court reporter and national-certified court reporter for 25 years. The proper terms are "neural foramina," (that is the plural form) and "neural foramen" (that is the singular form) although you will see them misspelled as neuroforamina all the time.

Neuroforamina vs neural foramina
Subject: Neuroforamina vs neural foramina
I understand that one is singular and the other is pleural. The MTs in the hospital where I now work are telling me that it's okay to type "neuroforamina" and I was told that is incorrect -- that it should be "neural foramina." I suppose it should be the same as for the singular form, but we just need some confirmation or judgment as to which is now the preferred way to type this. I know that 30+ years ago, I was told that neuroforamen *and* neuroforamina were okay. I don't believe tha anymore and do believe that neural foramina is the correct way to type it. Anyone with a definite on this? Thanks -- Karen

Is he saying four five or forty five, if he is saying four five hole then it is 4.5, but if he is sa
Subject: Is he saying four five or forty five, if he is saying four five hole then it is 4.5, but if he is saying forty five then I would put 45.

Subject: if this is ESL can you hear 149 (one forty pause nine)?
Yes, he is saying four five not forty five. The reason it confuses me
Subject: Yes, he is saying four five not forty five. The reason it confuses me
is because he is not saying 4.5. just four five. Why can't he say the point??? he said it before. YIKES. Is that so hard. LOL Thanks again for your help.
I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....
Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

Website for transcription
Subject: Website for transcription
Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription? I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me. There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records. I've used Google, but can't seem to find it. I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist.
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses!
Thanks!
