Madhan's suggestion isn't a chart. If he specifically requests a chart I would type it that way. It doesn't matter what you think looks better. It matters what the doctor thinks looks better.

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"

Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...

Glad you posted the correct answer.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.

If doc dictates "a" use that; if "per" go with that. That's what I do anyway. It makes life simpler that way. :)

person, even one person from a Cannabis site! The MRI info was probably keyed in by a lay person also. There no reference for "brachioplexy" in any Stedman's reference, any Dorland's reference, Taber's or even in the rxlist.
Did you notice the other misspellings in the Google listings?

Brachioplexy makes no sense. It's brachial plexus, brachial plexopathy.

Best not to be facetious with an MT with over 30 years' experience, with a 99-100% QA rating at all times.

You still didn't define "brachioplexy" which is what I asked.

No wonder we're losing our work to a foreign country.
