Mine still reads as I quoted above, and I see no questions and answers, only examples. Still says follow-up is an acceptable alternative. Also, account preference trumps BOS, and I have accounts for which the expectation is follow-up.

Write out nonmetric units of measure; do not use the symbols " and ' for inches

We would have to obtain new x-rays and obtain from St. Vincent's Charity Hospital his s/l sticker page? to find out exactly what this is.

stats page ?
Subject: stats page ?

Maybe I'm senile or something, but until the new PP began, I would look up stats as "current month," which worked fine.  Now when I try to enter the last 2-3 days, I always end up adjusting one of the dates.  Even more frustrating is selecting "16th to end of month," and it brings up November! 


I could swear that sometime in the past I figured this out.  It's petty but annoying.


Thanks!

and if you read the entire page and look for her name - there are about a half dozen of her or his questions, if not more, where people help her or him and never once get a THANK YOU......


Do you really think I want to help her/him?  Nope.  I won't help the ungracious, the ones with lack of manners.  I won't waste my time.


And I know what you say about the admin/moderators here - they are THE BEST!!!  It's just that we probably are on here more often than they might be available to.


So, we become the eyes/ears, etc., like helpers

under needle there is BD spinal and right under that is Beath and a little further down is Beeth.

I understand for verying and yes, it is confusing when you see it spelled 2 different ways, but I do type Ortho reports on a daily basis and I have been told Beath. Also when I Google Beath needle there is a section under Shoulder Arthroscopy, books.google.com and the article is highlighting Beath pin and then Beath needle is there. This might help for verification.
