glissement, you won't get what you need. You need to limit your results to those that are relevant to your topic by adding associated terms to your search. Try the two words "glissement" and "knee" (without the quotes). There will be a lot of results in French, but even if you can't read French, you will be able to see that they are relevant to your topic. There are, however, a few that use "glissement" in an English context, which should give you more confidence. In any event, it's your initials on the report, so you handled it in the way that is most comfortable for you. I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect that it will turn out to be "glissement".

trademark or register information from the manufacturer does not make it Nitropaste but rather nitro (glycerin) paste. Just my opinion. There ARE registered names for nitro paste but this I believe is doc slang for generic nitroglycerin paste.

jumping up and down wanting to answer the question.  Otherwise you would have been paying more attention and know this.  This is very basic MT knowledge, not your opinion of what it should be.  Her answer is correct, not yours, and she explained it correctly.  Go back and read it again.  It is not the amount of packs in a year, no matter how many times you jump up and down yelling out your answer.

Tricky terms
Subject: Tricky terms

If you keep a notebook with alphabetical tabs, you could make yourself a heading under SIGN, and you could also enter the word under all letters it might be pronounced as.  That's what I used to do.  Saved a lot of time in the long run, especially when you don't have enough information about the patient's problem to know what system or body part they are checking.

Assessment:  Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen.  (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:


s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin.  She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:


On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface. 


I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long.  I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!!  TIA
