do you need to know how to spell it, but also learn what it is that you are typing (and save yourself the embarassment of having one of your reports make the "laughing rounds" at the hospital or company that you're working for). :>)

You're getting some very good advice here. sm
Subject: You're getting some very good advice here. sm

I've been using PRD for years and it allows me to use symbols as part of the shortcuts which really helps a lot. Because there can be the same abbreviation for different phrases, I will add a single hyphen for cardio, 2 hyphens for ortho, etc. Also, if the phrase needs to be hyphenated to precede a noun, such as in "up-to-date information," the short form here for a hyphenated "up to date" would be "-utd." When it doesn't need to be hyphenated, it would be "utd." This comes in handy for the phrase "too numerous to count." (You get the idea.)

This is really a personalized thing. My short forms may be a mystery for another MT.

For personal names that crop up a lot that I don't want to type out each time, I'll use the last name with either a hyphen after it or a "1." For instance, "George Washington, MD," I'd use "wash1." For "George Washington, PA-C" I'd use wash-.

Your "rrr" also could be "r3." My "alert and oriented x3" is "ao3."

Whatever floats your boat! Have fun!

memory drugs
Subject: memory drugs

Hello!  I need some help for a foreign acquaintance of mine.  He's from the Ukraine, or thereabouts, and has been having memory problems.  His doctor discussed some meds with him, but he can't remember what they were, and now he's too embarassed to ask about them again!!??  I told him I'd see if we could get a list together, in the hopes that one (or more) of them would jump off the page at him, and he'd remember what he and his Dr. discussed.  Help me! 


Thank you, now all I have to do is commit that to memory...lol, Thanks again (nm)

Nothing comes to mind for the memory portion, but the foam is more than likely "from" edema, don't you think.

This has to do with problem eating, but thanks anyway, and it is very clear he is saying "pneumestic" or "numestic", etc.  I even tried plugging in a word ending in "mastic" having to do with chewing, but no luck.
