I have never heard it before, but it does make sense.  The patient was doing range of motion cold, and in your case, he is using the term "cold turkey", meaning the extremity he is trying to range is "cold", not yet warmed up.  So, I would say yes it makes sense!!

Thanks to those who helped me
Subject: Thanks to those who helped me

on Saturday with my question regarding the correct spellling of Permacath or PermCath, or Perma-Cath.  I have been typing PermCath all the time until this doc specifically says Perma Cath, with the A.  I do have resource books.  I have the Surgical Word Book by Tessier.  On page 1614, Third Edition, it has Perma-Cath catheter and the Perma-Cath drain and on the next page it has PermCath dual-lumen catheter.  This was main reason for asking the question and you can see why I was confused since it is spelled both ways; with and without the A.


Thanks again.

To figure out if it should be follow up or followup (never follow-up as far as I know)

Replace followup with eat. If it makes sense it should be follow up.

Example "The patient will follow up with me in three weeks"

The patient will eat with me in three weeks"

It makes sense so follow up would be used.

But if you had

"The patient returns for a six month follow up"

and you replace it

"The patient returns for a six month eat"

That doesn't make sense, so you would use followup.

Hope this helps, it was an eye opener for me, as I was the queen of followup issues!!!

Wow none of these ppl helped u at all
Subject: Wow none of these ppl helped u at all

did they lol.

I was hoping someone here could clear it up for me as well but oh well.

It totally confuses me too, and after reading and re-reading in a moment of perfect clarity I got it, and then when I try to apply it to the sentence in question its gone again. But cheer up, maybe QA doesn't know either LOL.

So you would have callous tissue as callous is the adjective modifying tissue.

I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school.  However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.
