Hi, Newbie!
Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).
Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.
Good luck.

i think it's because "small" and "moderate" are COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES and the grammar experts say not to use a hyphen with comparative or superlative adjectives...geez...language is so weird, and MT is so hard, hyphens are the LEAST of our worries, yes? =)

telling us that the apostrophe is the same as saying "of," as in 17 weeks of gestation, which would be okay. Or you can say a 17-week gestation. Either way would be okay I would think. Not 17-weeks gestation though.

I think it's just an English word or words.
"The patient was admitted for the s/l 'in-portient' phase of the Ovation '10-15' intravenous carbamazepine study."
He's trying to say this so carefully it's unbelievable, but I don't know this in-portient drug study phase terminology, and so I can't even find a reference to 10-15 or 10:15, even though I can find articles about an IV carbamazepine drug study.
Hepp I'm tupid.

I just want to be sure about whether since she specified it is left side only that extensor hallucis "is" and not extensor hallucis "are". If she said bilateral then it would read extensor hallucis are 4+/5 -- am I getting that part correct? TIA
To be clear?
Subject: To be clear?
Hallucis IS.......halluces ARE. You will know when she is talking about a different side or bilateral. Don't over-think your dictator, okay? I'm thinking you may be new (I hope) and these things will become more clear as you go.
I know you're trying to get it perfect, but she knows what she's doing with the foot/feet. :)

I would leave a blank, although it is probably hypocoagulable (my Stedman's oncology book has this word) and we used it in the lab, such as defective clotting with factor deficiences such as hemophilia, von Willebrand (which heavy menstrual flow can be a sign), low platelet count, ITP, liver disorders that affect vitamin K production, etc. But it's really hard to say without knowing more about this patient because, if I can explain this right, there are conditions or situations that can cause hypercoagulable states that then use up all the clotting factors, etc., and then cause bleeding. So really need to know more on what the patient's other symptoms, family history, etc. to be sure on something like this when you can't hear for sure, I think anyway. Sorry for the long essay here, used to be one of my areas of interest a long time ago. Once worked up a lady who had heavy, heavy vaginal bleeding after childbirth, was in really bad DIC, docs had a heck of a time saving her. You can google on some of this if you're interested.
