You are right about Zaroxolyn. I listened again.

I also have bad hands and had to indulge in formal PT awhile back and I have their print-out sheet for my exercises and it says on the sheet from an orthopaedic surgeon's office *oppose* the thumbs....


So, in this light, I believe that Flybye's post is the most correct and thanks, Flybye, for teaching me something today!!!

Thanks a million for your help and also for the website link!!  Of all the specialities I really have a lot of trouble with pulmonology. There seem to be so many tests or measurements that as an average person I've never even heard of. This is MUCH appreciated.

I went ahead and sent it to QA, but now that I think of it, since all I could hear is the t in 2 and he tends to swallow the first part of most words, it definitely fits, just couldn't get it myself (new account to me and all).  Thanks so much, I appreciate being able to get feedback off this board

I'd recast the sentence to "past four days." If you must use "duration," it would be "days' duration" as it refers to four days a plural.

Okay, most of you are gonna think, what an idiot, I know, but I get this phrase a few times, and I'm never quite sure how to put it.  The doctor, this time, says "I am loathe to give him anti-inflammatory..." Is that right? One time I thought another one said 'loathed', and I'm not sure which way it goes.  Thanks....It's Monday for me :)

My friend took her CMT on a Saturday in the office where we worked (has to be 8 years ago approx) and an old-time office manager of mine from a prior office had become a Proctor.....and she stayed with my friend for the 4 or 5 hours that the CMT test took and she (my friend) was not able to look up anything during the time of the test. 


Do you think THAT changed?  I don't know, I CAN find out next week from my friend, but I somehow don't think they would let you test for CMT and use references of any kind, but I COULD BE WRONG.  I will research this next week (when friend returns to town) and see if the rules have changed this dramatically, where references CAN now be used to test for CMT.


Thanks for the heads-up.  *S*

Here's how I learned it in the days of yore. sm
Subject: Here's how I learned it in the days of yore. sm

effect (noun) a result

effect (verb) to bring about

affect (verb) to influence

affect (noun) psych term

The verb effect is usually pronounced with a long first e. "Let's effect some change around here."

In your case above, it is the verb effect (to bring about). She wants to bring about relief with club soda. The effect (result) of her using club soda was infrequent symptoms.

Affect as a verb is pronounced with the first syllable accented, (like Ben Affleck).

Affect as a noun (the psych term) has the second syllable accented.

Suggestion: Jot this down and tape it to your monitor. You'll get it. Don't jinx yourself! :)
