Can we find anything else to be horribly rude about here?  My goodness.  If you don't know the answer or don't care to help, then why bother posting something that is horribly rude and considered offensive.  Now we have posters that feel they need to explain the fact that they've searched.  So what if they didn't?  Maybe they have a line quota, and by asking here, they will probably get the right answer and remember it.


But no, some people have to act like a "know it all" and be on a high horse, and they probably have internal issues of insecurity themselves.

Subject: Please report these posts that are on the Word board. (SM)

The design of the Word, Drugs, Abbreviations, Style, and Productivity boards are specifically to get assistance.

If there are posters being rude, bullying, or abusive to those asking questions on these boards, please report those messages. There is a box at the top right of your screen on every message that says Report Message.

Indeed, if posters do not want to be helpful on these boards, they should (and will, if reported) stay off of them.

Let me know if you have any problems.

It's a minor annoyance....but when you go to the verification page, do you have to click in the box to put in the letter/number combination?


On the other boards, the cursor is already there. I can't tell you how many times I have glanced at the code, entered it without looking at the screen, then hit "enter", only to get an error message and have to enter a new code. I finally started paying attention and as far as I can tell, this is the only board that does that.


As I said, minor but annoying.....wanted to see if anyone else has experienced that.

Way to remember this:
Subject: Way to remember this:

melenic is adjective of noun melena (blood in stool)

melanotic is adjective of noun melanoma (skin cancer)

It's as easy as that. Dictators rarely dictate it correctly.

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!).
Thanks again for your help. I will remember that one. nm

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.
