I'm typing rheumatology....

In Reply to: surfactant - MT50

Subject: I'm typing rheumatology....

and this sentence is all I have to go by:

She was also given an intermittent course of s/l za-fax-in by her gastroenterologist.

He's very clear. There's a "z" sound at the beginning and a very clear "fax" in there. I've tried spelling zo-fax-en, zi-fax-in, etc., and even spelling with "x" at the beginning.

Thanks for your help.
