Why I answered the way I did
Subject: Why I answered the way I did

RE: "She did not ask that.
Why don't you answer simply:
The first option is the right one."

***I believe it's better to explain how a thing is derived rather than to simply give an answer, because that way there's a better chance the person can apply the information to a new situation.

"Furthermore, if you add an
'and', THEN you have to enter a comma"

***No.

***WARNING*** Explanation below -- Not just an "answer"!

If "Explanations" cause you extreme discomfort or confusion, do not read further!

The comma rules are based on the structure of a sentence and word order rather than on specific words, so there is not a rule for "as well as."

For instance, if "as well as" is used for an introductory adverb phrase or clause, there would be a comma after that word group because it is out of normal word order:

'As well as I have played, I still cannot score a par round of golf.'

If the phrase or clause is at the end of a sentence, there is no comma because this is normal word order:

'We wanted to find a good tour to take as well as a nice place to have dinner.'

**
Now, the next time you have a problem with the way I explain something, don't be so snippy. No one who is simply trying to help another person should have to deal with someone who needs an attitude adjustment, but then, I suppose no good deed goes unpunished...Just ask nicely & I will be happy to explain. Or deconstruct, as appropriate.

the answer was lost. The "q" by itself is a dangerous abbrevision. Refer it to your supervisor as apparently the QA person does know this and, if nothing else, for clarification if they want you to use it.

Get yourself a good medical dictionary and look up Chlamydia/chlamydia

The word "chlamydia" is the genus and is only capitalized if it is followed by the name of the family.  This per Dorland's Medical Dictionary.  If the word "chlamydia" is not followed by the family name, the word is not capitalized.

I do not mind helping people with their questions, but would appreciate if you could give a little more context when asking.  Perhaps a sentence or two containing the s/l or word in question or some sort of reference to what type report, body area, etc., would be welcome.  It would greatly help me to help you.

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question.  You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help.  You need to give some example of what you are looking for.  People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you.  Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer.

Dorland's Medical Dictionary: 


Pexis: 


1.  Fixation of matter by a tissue. 


2.  Surgical fixation, usually by suture. 


Therefore pexed would be past tense, as in was pexed (or fixed).
