half a response here but is it a lead? sm
Subject: half a response here but is it a lead? sm

This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.

I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.

I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!

I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.

Subject: Here is the sweet email that my lead from the MTSO sent me

I know, I have an OB clinic that is doing the same thing.  Sometimes you just have to say okay if that's the way you want it that's what you'll get and go on.  It's hard though, especially when you take pride in your work.

 

I noticed right away that you had fixed the templates and it was wonderful.  I found each one I needed right away.

 

Don't let it bother you, I think you did a great job cleaning those up, they were a mess.

The expression is "I'm at a loss" not "lost." And it should read "Mother deceased at age 71" not "decease." These just might be typos as you're probably in a hurry, but I wanted to be sure you were aware just in case.

The dictator in your example is not giving a specific clinic; the word "a" or "the" is understood.

You will often hear "The patient was seen by Oncology," or "...when Cardiology evaluated the patient." A good rule of thumb is: If you can substitute "Bob," then you DO capitalize. "The patient was seen by Bob." Yes. "The patient was seen by the cardiology service," -- "The patient was seen by the Bob..." No. Get it?

Of course, in MT every rule was made to be broken. This is a rule of thumb, but it always depends on what your hospital's or clinic's guidelines.

It is named after Augustus V. Waller.  The word wallerian is not a proper noun.  It's the same principle as applied to Parkinson disease when the dictator says "parkinsonism". 


I've seen a lot of text books and word books that have wrong spellings in them.
