I agree that you could have been much more considerate when helping someone. Everyone has to learn some time and not everyone knows everything about every speciality.

I was just asking for a little help.  Thank you though to the person who did help.

Subject: Rude? I think she was just trying to help

It seems to me you are throwing some of these new MTs WAY off by reading some of your posts. Hopefully you don't wing it like that when you're doing QA.
Don't be rude . . .
Subject: Don't be rude . . .

I do QA all day long, and believe me the MT with the question can be way off. Sometimes taking theh s/l seriously can put them back on track.

If you don't want to answer, don't.

If you feel the message should be reported for any reason, do so.

Do NOT be rude to those asking for help on this board.

I have had to deal with rude respones, if people are going to respond rudely, I agree with you, just don't bother. I work for an ENT and have never heard the word you were looking for.

not to be rude but Stedman's has been....sm
Subject: not to be rude but Stedman's has been....sm

Not to be rude - it IS coffee grounds that one can vomit and when used as a noun, but when it's used as an adjective, it is coffee-ground emesis....I suppose it could be an either-or so I'm not giving anyone an argument.  Just have seen Stedman's be wrong on many occasions and I don't use Stedmans as a result.


To each his/her own....


additional info:

coffee-ground emesis is old blood in the vomitus, coffee-ground vomitus.



 


I really don't think the poster was trying to be rude to you
Subject: I really don't think the poster was trying to be rude to you

I read both of your posts and it was a bit confusing to me. If you are asking what the word *saline* may be than that would clear it up. The confusion is that you put *saline s/l*. Normally, people put the s/l before the word they are trying to figure out. If there is another word in the sentence that goes after saline, you have to give us what it sounds like. If the sounds like is saline, that would help to clear it up.
not OP responder but I don't think it was rude
Subject: not OP responder but I don't think it was rude

I think YOU need to toughen up your skin - and to say *thanks for nothing* to the person responding to you AND WHO GAVE YOU THE CORRECT ANSWER was REALLY VERY RUDE on your part, more rude than your perception of the responder. 


Do you really think another person is going to want to help you on the word board in the future when you say *thanks for nothing* when the correct answer is supplied to you?


The least you could have done was say - *no need to be rude but thanks for the answer*...and again, with a :) in the subject line (smiley icon) - seems to me the responder was not rude.


Just an observer here........who believes in being fair and just. 


Rude post
Subject: Rude post

Whoever asked - do you utilize any resources - you are rude and make the rest of the "nice" MTs look bad - this person needed immediate help - what would it hurt to have just answered the question - I hope you never post to this word board and if you do that no one will give you the satisfaction of any kind of response - or perhaps respond to you with an incorrect answer that you will naively take as truth!

Subject: I can't believe how rude you are. MTs take time

out of their day to be helpful to other MTs on this board - and you insult them!  The nerve of you.  You should consider the fact that although not all responses are correct, the MT on the other end makes the ultimate decision - these are just suggestions - not set in stone.  Maybe we should all stay off this board and let you take over - you seem to be so much more experienced.
Not rude, just curious where all this patience comes from. SM

and since ALL us well-seasoned MTs only use numerals instead of TRYING TO RIP THE CLIENT OFF as you would want by expanding

Subject: wasn't trying to be rude, just the suggestions--sm

given had absolutely nothing to do with the low back, which she specifically mentioned in her post. Not all MTs are way off in what they are asking about or looking for and some of these suggestions that have nothing to do with their requests can be very misleading, as well. JMO and again, not meant to be rude.

Thank goodness for the nice people out there.
It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
Subject: It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that

If a reliable resource had been used, it could have defrazzled the MT looking for a quick fix answer. There is that saying about teaching someone to fish versus just giving him a fish that really applies to being an MT. This MT wanted someone else to think for him/her. So okay, everyone has bad days, but a good MT practices sound research regardless of the day. The poster you referred to as rude was polite enough to point the OP to a site where the entire medication database can be downloaded onto his/her PC and can perform searches in a variety of ways for FREE, and get free updates to drugs as they come out. That doesn't sound as though the responding poster was being entirely rude.

Your comments about hoping the offending responder being given an incorrect answer on purpose was actually much more rude than the one trying to teach the OP to fish.
I still think your post was very rude and uncalled for.

Why bother helping if you do it in such a sarcastic way? Who needs ThAT? Go back to bed and get up on the RIGHT side this time.

excused by please and thank you.  And I did have something to offer.  I offered that since you can document it either way, either should be correct.  FWIW, I googled for   (Kitner, Kittner) blunt manufacturer    and came up with nada.  There is no "credible" reference that's better than what you've got, evidently.

Why don't you go read through your posts, they don't sound very friendly to me.
2 ways
Subject: 2 ways

1. Go to INSERT, AUTOTEXT (Or ALT, I, A. In autotext you can type “-year-old” and hit okay. For this side you will actually have to type at least 4 letters (i.e. –yea) and the rest of the phrase will pop up and then you hit enter.
2. Or, the one you are hunting is to INSERT and AUTOCORRECT at the top left tab. Go to middle of screen “replace” and “with”. Type ":yo" and then tab over to the With side and type "-year-old". And then enter or "ok". Make sure it is a colon not semicolon.

ALT L with start numbered list lining them up and ALT L will shut it off.

Or start typing without the numbers, returning as needed and then block listings and ALT L.

Or, type 1, tab and type and when you return for #1 it will give you the number. If it indents, back up to the beginning of one of #1 sentences and SHIFT TAB to move it back the margin.

I agree with using periods instead of semicolons to declutter the whole thing.
In the 2nd sentence I would put the comma before "and" as a complete sentence follows = ....during the day, and subsequently,.... In the final sentence = Therefore, one dose of Brethine was administered, and Stadol was given and subsequently it subsided. According to the BOS, you may join closely related sentences without commas. That is why I left out the commas in the final sentence. If you use too many commas, it becomes cluttered.
