Personally, I prefer the "thanks in advance" method, as (sm)

Subject: Personally, I prefer the "thanks in advance" method, as (sm)

adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

Subject: Method of Lipmann and Codd??

Anyone ever heard of this?? Used in radiology report (scolioisis series). We cannot find any info on this--someone here thinks it's "Cobb" . . . ??? Sounds very much like "cod" No one is sure. Sentence reads: "There is a scoliois to the left. Using the method of Lipmann and Codd the angulation would measure 17 degrees".


Perhaps it's a mathematical term but cannot find anything on this.

But you're right...I have a lot of CNPs and PA-Cs who are constantly saying the wrong things. For example, the CNP who keeps saying dilution instead of deciliter for the UA, when she does an eye exam she always says the lids were averted instead of everted.  She SPELLS it for me and always sounds like she's disgusted because she keeps spelling it with an A and I keep typing it with an E.  It has always been Everted.  Averted means to look away.  I type these things up for years and years and then someone comes along like her and I start questioning myself, and maybe I'm typing it wrong...it just drives me crazy.
