Spellcheck
Subject: Spellcheck
If you are using a medical spellchecker program, I don't know why you would use MS word to spell check anything. the spellchecker program runs in the background and underlines everything in red that is misspelled. so much easier than having to do a spell check on every document! just a suggestion.

Nonobstructing spell checks but I always hyphenate it as I think it looks better and is clearer. Just my opinion.

I will not use it either. I do not think it is professional looking and if I was still going through training, it would not be acceptable to the school either. but my Stedman's spellcheck will not accept it, either.

If your spellcheck checks for capitalization (like Word), you can just type the med in lower case, and it will mark it as wrong if it needs to be capitalized. You can then put the ones that need to be capitalized into autocorrect so you don't have to memorize brand names.

Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm
Subject: Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm
 After completing the typing in a Microsoft Word document, I do a spell check. When the spell check is complete, and I have to hit okay, it makes a really, really loud DING, and because I am using ExpressScribe and have to have the volume up on my headphones, it is really causing me problems with how loud the DING is, as it either scares the heck out of me or I also believe it is giving me a headache. So, I have to take my headphones off while doing the spellcheck, so I'm not deaf by the end of the day. I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the DING. I would be so appreciative!

I have seen this is on other Medical Transcription Word Boards where doctor's seem to "bastardize" the word and use the term bundloid. Don't know if it is legit or not, but this is the third time from a transcriptionist I have seen it.

Subject: I just checked my feedback
and before I e-mail my PS, I wanted to see if I was wrong. I researched but seems I was right. I was corrected for using Entero Vu contrast - I was told it is Enteroview. According to Stedman's it is Entero Vu plus I have been Radiology for 10 years and always used this spelling. I was also corrected on using centimeters per second - I use cm/s but was corrected to cm/sec. Any help on these? Thanks!

I want to tell you that Dorland is a little outdated and oldfashiomed.
This is NOT an EXCEPTION, this I can tell you, because I studied Latin.
It is decubitus / decubiti
or
decubitus ulcer / decubitus ulcers.
The OP said that the doctor dictated 'decubiti'. If this is on top of it a 'verbatim' account and she types decubitus, whereas the doctor dictated 'decubiti', then she WILL REALLY BE IN TROUBLE.
IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT !
And why do you threaten me?
I think you are a QA????
