Can you hear freeze in that second s/l at all?

Liquid nitrogen 'freezes,' and I think your second s/l probably has the word freeze in it somehow, but I just can't quite figure out the ending. I'm stumped by your first s/l but still working on it.

Dumb question...
Subject: Dumb question...

At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often.  Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation  states pt is on a half mg of something.  For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg".  I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words.  Is the proper way to write this 12.5?  (Does .5 equal a half mg?)  Thanks!

I was wondering if this is one diagnosis or 2 diagnoses.

2. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

The only reason I ask is because I was just released from QA and have never been so nervous in my life about making a mistake. My security blanket is gone..lol. I may be asking a lot of dumb questions for a while until I feel secure again..lol.

Subject: probably dumb questions but...

The patient is now 1 month post fracture of her left ulna *Dr says left ulnar* should be ulna? not ulnar
