Adding on to what I said before
Subject: Adding on to what I said before

Before she said "VFP" she listed "clobetasol and fluocinolone topically".  I thought she was moving on to the next thing, but maybe she was referring to those and saying "the (instead of V) FP's or SP's are .05%"  Anyone know what FP or SP would be, it sounds like she could be saying the prescription dose on those topical medications.  It seems to fit anyway.  Any ideas?

use callus when it's connected to another word i.e. "callus formation". Use callous when it's alone i.e. "the foot has a callous". Hope this helps.

If you "abduct" somebody, you take them away. So "abduction" is movement of a limb AWAY from the center of the body. "Adduction" is movement TOWARD the center of the body.

I can't remember how long it took me to be able to type at a 1:2 ratio since I have been doing this for about 15 years. However, I do know that it took me longer than 3 to 4 months, especially since I was looking everything up in reference books to double check my spelling as I didn't go to school for medical transcription. Maybe someone else has a better idea. I DO remember being frustrated that it was taking me so long to finish a tape (back when I did tapes, LOL!).

when new at it. You new MTs are at a disadvantage for not having someone physically standing over your shoulders mentoring you. We did back in the old days, even if we had to grab a doc for help. Help was always there.

Help is now HERE! Any newbie requesting my help is going to get the best advice I can give. If MT Stars doesn't like this help I'm offering, I'm sure they will let me know, and maybe I can start a blog or something somewhere else.

"Trauma hospital?" Where'd that come from, anyway? Sigh.

I've been wracking my brain all morning since you asked this - my friend, not accessible at the moment, has this type of cancer...it is something I had never heard of before which is WHY I cannot currently remember.....sounds like cerrocellular or something like that - it's a definite C she told me and not serocellular.....but I'm not spelling it right.  So sorry, wish I could have helped.


I'm going to see her later - will get back on this...but it's too late for your MT work, I am sure :(

it is a drug used for a person to regain their appetite, used in people with wasting syndrome as in AIDS and also cancer patients. It starts with an M... the reason why I am trying to find out is a friend's husband has esophageal cancer, lost a lot of weight and if and when he can resume any kind of appetite, would like to have her ask his physician about this. I have had 2 people ask their physician for this in the past, my stepmom for 1 who was unable to eat. Thanks if anyone able to help me on this.
