Why I answered the way I did
Subject: Why I answered the way I did

RE: "She did not ask that.
Why don't you answer simply:
The first option is the right one."

***I believe it's better to explain how a thing is derived rather than to simply give an answer, because that way there's a better chance the person can apply the information to a new situation.

"Furthermore, if you add an
'and', THEN you have to enter a comma"

***No.

***WARNING*** Explanation below -- Not just an "answer"!

If "Explanations" cause you extreme discomfort or confusion, do not read further!

The comma rules are based on the structure of a sentence and word order rather than on specific words, so there is not a rule for "as well as."

For instance, if "as well as" is used for an introductory adverb phrase or clause, there would be a comma after that word group because it is out of normal word order:

'As well as I have played, I still cannot score a par round of golf.'

If the phrase or clause is at the end of a sentence, there is no comma because this is normal word order:

'We wanted to find a good tour to take as well as a nice place to have dinner.'

**
Now, the next time you have a problem with the way I explain something, don't be so snippy. No one who is simply trying to help another person should have to deal with someone who needs an attitude adjustment, but then, I suppose no good deed goes unpunished...Just ask nicely & I will be happy to explain. Or deconstruct, as appropriate.

Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm
Subject: Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm

While the gastrocnemius and soleus are 2 separate muscles, they come together in a common insertion to form the Achilles tendon, hence the frequent references to the "gastrocsoleus complex." The term "gastrocsoleus" would not be seen in Grey's because the information deals with the anatomy of each muscle individually, but that does not mean the two cannot be referred to and transcribed in the above manner.

Stedman's shows it as "gastrocnemius-soleus complex" while HPI Orthopedic Words and Phrases makes a reference to "gastroc/soleus." I have typed it as one word for many years and have never seen any QA objection to it. The bottom line will be, if your particular company or account has a preference, then go with that. In the absence of such a stated preference, however, it is acceptable to transcribe "gastrocsoleus" when dictated. Some will view it perhaps as slang or whatever while others will see it as merely constructing a medical term as done within the acceptable parameters of medical terminology for the purpose of referencing anatomical structures that share a point of commonality.
Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm
Subject: Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm

Some posts just got deleted as we were trying to help someone.  My answer to her format question was: Some of my docs do dictate each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.

Kondremul: Promotes gentle predictable regularity of normal bowel movement. Creamy liquid pours easily and leaves no oily aftertaste. Pleasant tasting and smoothe acting.
