has anyone heard of this before? there's a little stumble between "free fall free" and "pattern" so I'm not certain.

I cannot find any just free T lab studies to be performed, and I am thinking he is leaving out the number after the T. I could be wrong though, so if anyone knows of there is a lab test of just a free T please post back and let me know.
as I know it, been transcribing for 25+ years, it's a-fib or A-fib if not said out completely as atrial fibrillation.

The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example).

I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.
