usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report.  He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0.  The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG??  Thanks

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.

Were you asking if doc may be saying fluticason? If so, he's definitely not saying that.

Entire sentence:

He would very much like to stay off insulin if at all possible. If this is not keeping him under control, may add a s/l glitisone/glutisone type drug.

Thanks for your help.

It is plural not pleural! LOL. But I think of it as singular because small and large are adjectives describing the same bowel. If you were prepping the arm for surgery, you would put the upper and lower arm WAS prepped, not the upper and lower arms WERE prepped.

SmarType menu not working

Hey everyone... I'm just searching for a solution to my problem. Have any of you ever experienced this, if so, how did you fix it.

My wife uses SmarType. We just got a new computer so I've been helping install her software. Anyway, the "Steadman's" menu doesn't show up when you're logged in as her, but it shows up in my account. Weird.

I'm not sure if Word is looking for a file, and it's only located in my account, or what. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
