I answered when she asked the same question on the main board. I wasn't the poster who asked "what is so difficult about verbatim" -- I sign all of my posts.

Just to clarify, your answer is tampon. Ignore the argument below. SM
Subject: Just to clarify, your answer is tampon. Ignore the argument below. SM
Definition for tampon, according to Doland's Medical Dictionary:
tampon (tam·pon) (tam´pon) [Fr. “stopper, plug”] a pack; a pad or plug made of cotton, sponge, or other material; variously used in surgery to plug the nose, vagina, etc., for the control of hemorrhage or the absorption of secretions.
(emphasis mine)
A tampon is simply a plug which can be used in a body cavity (male or female) to absorb blood, sections, etc.
Yes, that's exactly what it was. Thanks for the help. Sorry I didn't answer sooner.

Fluconazole comes as a tablet and a suspension (liquid) to take by mouth.
So the answer is that this medication could either be mg or ml (or mL), so your dictator misspoke meaning one of the two. If the child is an infant, I would suspect it was given as a liquid, so ml. And I have had MDs misspeak mm for ml before, but I wasn't going to say that until I was sure what drug we were talking about.

Sorry, should have been more specific. Dictator is probably slurring the word "ophthalmic" drops. There is no thalmic drop. The word "thalamic" refers to something else entirely. Please just type out ophthalmic drops.

He probably does mean the injection will help clarify where the pain is coming from. That is the whole purpose of a a discogram, but sometimes they are inconclusive. It's just an awkward sentense structure to say clarify the patient.

I'm so confused about the correct way to write prescription abbreviations. I've looked it up in several places and come up with different ways so here it goes. Is it q.d. or q d? What about bid or b.i.d.? Please help. Thank you.

Always go by your company policy and produces. My company states:
"when the manufacturer uses all capitals, use an initial capital only so as not to give undue attention to the term in a medical report..."

Prefix meaning childbirth. For example, tocolysis is the slowing or halting of labor. Sometimes spelled tok-, toko-.
So definitely not toca even though you hear it clearly, the docs are not always right.

RE: "She did not ask that.
Why don't you answer simply:
The first option is the right one."
***I believe it's better to explain how a thing is derived rather than to simply give an answer, because that way there's a better chance the person can apply the information to a new situation.
"Furthermore, if you add an
'and', THEN you have to enter a comma"
***No.
***WARNING*** Explanation below -- Not just an "answer"!
If "Explanations" cause you extreme discomfort or confusion, do not read further!
The comma rules are based on the structure of a sentence and word order rather than on specific words, so there is not a rule for "as well as."
For instance, if "as well as" is used for an introductory adverb phrase or clause, there would be a comma after that word group because it is out of normal word order:
'As well as I have played, I still cannot score a par round of golf.'
If the phrase or clause is at the end of a sentence, there is no comma because this is normal word order:
'We wanted to find a good tour to take as well as a nice place to have dinner.'
**
Now, the next time you have a problem with the way I explain something, don't be so snippy. No one who is simply trying to help another person should have to deal with someone who needs an attitude adjustment, but then, I suppose no good deed goes unpunished...Just ask nicely & I will be happy to explain. Or deconstruct, as appropriate.
