but, I  found a fiberoptic interosseous endoscopy.  Don't know that that's what it was, but perhaps if you get it in the future, you have something to look into!

offered no context, such as whether this is a neurology report and what part of the body the patient is having symptoms in? If you put that in your subject line, then it will catch people's attention who type those reports.

Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm
Subject: Well U do realize WE R the minority..*LOL*..sm

Hard to change my ways anyway at this age.....*LOL* but we ARE the minority on this, as I have many people in my life in the business forever too.  I took a formal MT class 26 years ago at a major teaching hospital (with branches all over this country) and this very issue came up, and they (the instructors) insisted that it is disk for eyes and disc for the spine.  But, like most reasonable posters have already said, they are both acceptable in use.  Again, it's always client preference. 


 


And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm
Subject: And she does NOT realize that demographics..sm

Demographics have TONS to do with that - I remember in 1980 - where I live had TONS of elderly (now deceased) so the first years of me doing MT work, the very elderly are usually in hospitals with these kinds of problems.  But now where I live, median age is 38!!!


Hence, it doesn't fit the bill any longer, and demographics have changed so drastically in the USA the past 30 years and especially the last 10 years that these statements of hers aren't cutting it.


Oh well, with the cute icon popping bubble gum of hers and it is a very cute emoticom, a grown woman in her 40s-50s-60s I do not think would usually choose an emoticom like that one - perhaps she is very, very young, and we cannot fault her for being a baby.  She'll grow up one day and realize it all on her own, IF she opens up her eyes.

Can you give a sentence to put into context what he's talking about?

But basically, I'd say if the doc dictates it that way, I'd type it as 157 cm and 3/8 inch.

Sometimes we worry too much that there's a way of doing something, and we're missing it -- We have to quit torturing ourselves about this kind of thing -- I know, it's tough :).

But I've never heard of a way to type something like that, other than just figure out what would make sense and not muddy up the report.

In a case like this, just give them what they say. If they have a problem with it, they can clear it up and instruct someone on what exactly it is that they expect.

Really, it seems as though your panties might be wadded just a bit. Some posters are just looking for extra help, and as a veteran MT I am more than happy to help, particularly new MTs. However, if it irritated me to do so, I would not remain logged on. Try to have yourself a pleasant day!

but I found several links referring to Salbetol as a brand name for albuterol in India, also other various close spelling for other countries.  Probably not what you were looking for, but I thought it was interesting and put one of the links here.  Nothing much better to do on a Friday night than read the word board, I guess, but I have to say is educational!  Can't believe how some of you guys pull this stuff out from the mumbo-jumbo!
