Subject: established patient who is s/l 25 and 5 7ths weeks of gestational age sm
The patient is not 25 years old but she dictates these numbers and I am unsure how to type it for it to make sense. It sounds like she is saying, "patient is 25 and 5/7 weeks gestational age. Do they dictate gestational age by the 7ths for days of the week? Would you type it 25-5/7 week gestational age?

I'd recast the sentence to "past four days." If you must use "duration," it would be "days' duration" as it refers to four days a plural.

Okay, most of you are gonna think, what an idiot, I know, but I get this phrase a few times, and I'm never quite sure how to put it. The doctor, this time, says "I am loathe to give him anti-inflammatory..." Is that right? One time I thought another one said 'loathed', and I'm not sure which way it goes. Thanks....It's Monday for me :)

My friend took her CMT on a Saturday in the office where we worked (has to be 8 years ago approx) and an old-time office manager of mine from a prior office had become a Proctor.....and she stayed with my friend for the 4 or 5 hours that the CMT test took and she (my friend) was not able to look up anything during the time of the test.
Do you think THAT changed? I don't know, I CAN find out next week from my friend, but I somehow don't think they would let you test for CMT and use references of any kind, but I COULD BE WRONG. I will research this next week (when friend returns to town) and see if the rules have changed this dramatically, where references CAN now be used to test for CMT.
Thanks for the heads-up. *S*
