In Reply to: One company i work for says "principle"..my other company says "principal" sm - I hate these 2 words..

Subject: Here's my silly way of differentiating the two: sm

principle is belief--associating le with belief (same sound)

principal is main. a as in main.

BTW, "principle diagnosis" is INCORRECT!! That company is way off, unless it's the client that knows no better and is insisting on that spelling.

I can't seem to get this one... This demonstrates that he remains in atrial fibrillation 72% of the time. He is asense and V-pacing. 


 


Thanks! 


Silly ?
Subject: Silly ?

I feel silly asking this spelling of a non-medical word, s/l rehesitant is the word and I have noone to turn to right now to ask, so any clues?  I can pronounce it but cannot spell the darn thing.  The patient is resident or rehesitant to surgery. 


Thanks!

I have been transcribing for this doctor for some time now, and I swear he is saying


Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg S/L in-cake.


He has never used this term before, and I cannot figure out if it is an abbrev. for something or what. He never says intake, and he lists 9 other medications in this reports that does not say this. Any help appreciated..maybe I am just hungry lol
