But there is an update on this sm
Subject: But there is an update on this sm

The update is this:

Follow up (2 words) is the verb usage. The pt will follow up in the office next week.

Followup (1 word) as in The pt is here for followup.

Follow-up is when it proceeds a noun, like the compound modifier rule. The pt is here for her follow-up appointment.

It was news to me yesterday, but there it is.

There have been a couple of AAMT BOS2 addendums. They want to do away with q.d. and q.4h. now has to have a space after the q. so it is q. 4h. Pain in the neck all of this...

Update on motalakian..
Subject: Update on motalakian..

I found these on further searches:

Tangent screen exam
Automated perimetry exam
Goldmann visual field exam
Humphrey visual field exam

This is not an ESL dictator but I just bet "tularakian" and "motalakian" are some forms of the above visual field testing names that he has said so often that he just runs it all together. The dictation is gone now but I've bookmarked the above, maybe they will help someone else who gets this same strange-sounding garble. Thanks!

But I have seen one person in particular
who asks word after word that could easily be looked up.  You can tell by the rest of the sentence and the s/l.  I don't mind helping newbies; in fact, I enjoy it; but give me a break.  Do some of the research yourselves, guys.

as some accounts are not able to process certain symbols. If you were able to do it the usual, correct way, it would be m with a superscripted 2 (no spaces, no periods). Some accounts I've done in the past have requested it written out as you have it. Best to check with your QA.

must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.


Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web. 


Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life.  For all we know, the poster could be a troll.  Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.

Subject: told perhaps by a french person?..sm

In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English. 


So, I'm thinking perhaps a person of French descent might have instructed you on that and in France/French-speaking countries, it would be correct, sac = sack; however, not here if used as a container to place something in that is not body-part related.
