I would either call tech support for Sony, I was trying to google and troubleshoot that way, but couldn't find anything, or find an office repair shop in your area as some of them still fix those machines, that way you don't have to go out and buy one.  Or if you have work you have to do now, I have had to go out and get one in an emergency just to finish the work while I got mine repaired, then had a back-up machine.  They really don't make a good machine anymore and they break down frequently, in my opinion.  I don't know how long you have had yours or how many hours a day you're on it, but it might be time to replace it.  Sorry, I wish I had a clear-cut solution to tell you.  It's so frustrating when our equipment fails us and we have so much work to get done.

Quite easy if they stick to the prescribed "script".  I was used to the CC, HPI etc.  It is quite a "culture shock" to do a SOAP note after that but easy enough and fast enough. Most use their own template etc.

Subject: yw...and here's a tip for searching on Google...sm

you can use a wildcard "*" to search for a phrase on Google. If you enter "carotid * are brisk" you will get all matches to that phrase. You must use the quotation mark before and after and the wildcard * symbol for the unknown word. Unfortunately Google will not find partial words (yet)...wish it did! Try it, you'll see your "carotid upstrokes are brisk" comes up in quite a few hits.

For constipation, patient is being prescribed *Senna-lax-S*.  My Quick Look Drug Book does not have it at all.  Google does have it all over.  My Stedman's spellchecker marks it wrong though and wants to change it to Cenalax.  Cenalax does not come up on Google anywhere and asks if I meant 'sennalax' instead.   OY!  Anyone know which is correct?  Is my Stedman's spellchecker wrong-o?

If I can SEE the bottle and see how it is written on the actual bottle, then I take that as "gospel."  In this case I looked around and had no luck finding a picture of the bottle but did find some pictures of the SennaLax pills.  It is my thought that the "S" at the end may indicate syrup.  Is this person a child??

Subject: Found this searching hirsutism on google. sm

Classification of Severity of Hirsutism
In 1961 Ferriman-Galwey published studies on 430 Caucasian women between the ages of 15-74 years based on patients seen in a hospital clinic. The system is based on 11 body sites with a severity score of 0 to 5 for the upper lip, chin, lower back, upper abdomen, arms, forearms, thigh and leg.



Score for the upper lip and chinGrade 1 - a few hairs at the outer part of the upper lip/few scattered hairs on the chin

Grade 2 - small moustache at the outer margins of the upper lip/scattered hair with a small concentration on the chin

Grade 3 -moustache extending halfway from the outer margin of the upper lip/light complete coverage of the chin

Grade 4 -moustache on the entire upper lip/heavy growth on the entire chin

Primary care physicians frequently perform lumbar puncture, because cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an invaluable diagnostic window to the central nervous system (CNS). Commonly performed tests on CSF include protein and glucose levels, cell counts and differential, microscopic examination, and culture. Additional tests such as opening pressure, 'SUPERNATANT COLOR', latex agglutination, and polymerase chain reaction also may be performed. Knowing which tests to order and how to interpret them allows physicians to use CSF as a key diagnostic tool in a variety of diseases.
