The patient was lied flat on the bed


laid or lain?  This is my favorite confusion.


I know that with laid you need an object. So is the pt the object? or is the pt the one reclining? which would make it lain. I think....Ahhhh


 This is me in my head right now.

Subject: Lying is correct in this case. Laying takes a subject, sm

Laying is correct if she is laying an egg or laying a baby down for a nap. If you recline, you are lying. Sounds like a insult, doesn't it, like she isn't telling the truth.

There was a thread about this on the
main board. Apparently MT schools aren't providing any training at all in very basic terminology. One wonders what they are teaching.

as *nn* as I believe I was the first to comment on this kathie's suggestion for caudal vater syndrome as having nothing to do with the low back. Anyway, then she made the comment about all diabetics having high blood pressure, and it raised the hair on the back of my neck. When I read LOL-sm post, I literally busted up laughing! I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well! It was great! Still laughing!

from top to bottom.  I was simply giving some help to the OP.  Whether she capitalized or not is her business.  I was just trying to point out in a quick instant that the "g" was silent in that word, hence her hearing "cushoined".  I am a very friendly and helpful person.  I was simply pointing that out to the poster above with the post beginning "you'd be wrong"!  So, I guess now I reek of sarcasm.  Again, I have broad shoulders...  no problem.  Glad you took the time to post.

Is this correct? I was taught it the R was capitalized, but maybe things have changed. My Stedman's says Regular, but I know I read in my company newsletter that it was a small R.  I don't want to get a critical error. Guess where I work????
