Subject: just 'fiber'? what's the symbol after it in your post?

It looks like you have a symbol or some character that didn't convert in your post right after 'fiber'
Or are you just asking if 'fiber' can be on a med list?

    Subject: Per the "acisional" post below.....sm

    With all of my QA's efforts and mine as well, which included asking my fellow MTs on this board, we have found no such word as "acisional". 


    Ahem, it was brought to my attention, however, that this is indeed the way the doc dictated the word 3 (count 'em three) times, and that I was not mistaken in that respect.  (HUH?????  Didn't I say that already??  LOL)


    Anyway, look for this newest, doctor-made-up-word .....if the dictator says "acisional", that is what he/she means!  And, it's probably coming to a new Stedman's Ortho/Rehab Words publication in your area sooooonnnnnnnn.........


    Just a silly update, but I do like to share.
