The most basic medical terminology course (my first course 27 years ago) teaches all about the *o* use as a connecting letter for words in medical terminology. If you haven't even learned that yet, how is it exactly that you are an MT? *very curious*

Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.

This is how I learned hyphens sm
Subject: This is how I learned hyphens sm

VI. Hyphenation
These prefixes do not require the use of a connecting hyphen in compound terms:

ante	intra	semi
anti	micro	sub
bi	mid	super
co	non	supra
contra	over	trans
counter	pre	tri
de	post	ultra
extra	pro	un
infra	pseudo	under
inter	re	weight

Examples - antecubital not ante-cubitalAlso Correct - antithesis, bitemporal, counterproductive, defibrillated, extrapyramidal, infraumbilical, interpersonal, intracranial, microhematuria, midline, nontender, nondistended, nonfocal, nonspecific, noncontributory, noncompliance, nonicteric, nonsmall, overestimate, overweight, preoperative, postoperative, posttraumatic, pseudogout, semicircular, sublingual, superimposed, supramammary, transvaginal, ultraviolet, underweight, weightbearing.

Do use a hyphen with prefixes ending in a or i and a base word beginning with the same letter. Example - anti-inflammatory.
Do use a hyphen when compounded with the prefix self.
Example - self-administered, self-monitored.
For Clarification - Use a hyphen after a prefix if not using a hyphen would change the meaning of the word. Examples - re-cover (to cover again) versus recover (regain)

Post is in that list above so I make it part of the word in most cases unless it should just be a stand-alone word.
