because no one dictator can ever seem to agree on it it seems!  So, because I am allowed to with my particular account(s), I always go for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and score the "free" keystrokes to boot!

Medical spell check and word expander
Subject: Medical spell check and word expander

Hi, Could anyone tell me, please, where I can download a GOOD, but CHEAP Medical spellchecker and word expander program?  I just got a new computer with Vista and my Shortcuts program or dictionary (Dorland's) will not work.  I have been off work for a while and need desperately to work, but I'm lacking money to buy those.  Info would be appreciated.  I've spent hours looking on the Net.  Thanks!!

they put in tissue expanders before actually doing the tissue expansion in which patients return for fills to the expanders until they are at a proper volume, usually at which point the expanders get changed out for permanent implants (gel or saline).
