I agree, I think if you add "in" in front of opposition, the sentence reads just fine.

Does that sound right?
The patient has a tiny lung nodule that the doctor is almost certain is benign. The patient is insisting on following it with regular CTs. He feels the risk of the radiation is higher than the risk of malignancy of the nodule. I've never seen the word touch used that way before. Thanks.

The dictator is just giving you help that it's "abduction" rather than"adduction." They just give you the first two letters to help differentiate.

abduction vs adduction
Subject: abduction vs adduction
I will try to make this question make sense -
When a doctor dictates A-B-duction or A-D-duction, is he supposed to say 3 letters on one or the other? i.e. ABD-duction or ADD-duction? I'm just wondering if there is a rule that they go by that will help me to better know which one they are trying to say when they are not too clear.
Word help (abduction)
Subject: Word help (abduction)
To the best of my knowledge it would be "abduction" but there are so many client specifics these days that I hesitate to give advice.
While I'm about it, I hesitate to give word help on this board because my rules are:
1) Never ever guess. If in doubt leave a blank. More preferable would be that there is soemone you can call who can listen to the actual dictation. If I could hear the actual dictation I could likely tell you what the words are but I won't guess and guessing is what most of the word help requests would be, even though I could usually "guess" at the answer. That is not appropriate for anyone to do.
2) Lacking anyone to call, my best advice would be to leave a blank and send to whatever editor department your company has. Ask them for feedback but don't be surprised if you don't get it.
3) Make a note of the word request as you post here and when your day's work is done, do some research. A good rule of thumb, if you don't find the word in 5 minutes, you aren't likely to find it. Maybe your own physician or his nurse would be willing to help you. Use your dictionary and all your hard word books, research the internet and then learn what the term/word/sentence actually means and you won't soon forget that way. I always maintained a "help" relationship with a pharmacist that I could call for new meds. Always had one willing to take the time to look in his "book" and find the med. Pharmacists have THE latest medication names, uses and dosages...they have to.
Don't despair, one day you will know the terms just by being able to get a sound because you will know what the word is because you will understand how it fits or doesn't fit in the dictated sentence. In the meantime never ever guess and don't let anyone guess for you. I promise you'll always guess wrong.
I've always told my students that they should expect to take 5 years before MT-ing finally clicks. Count on it, about the 5 year mark it will suddenly all click and you'll take off like a kite. That is provided you continue to learn and learning is really a self-study thing.

Subject: some docs say ABduction and ADduction
In my dictation, they will dictate A B -duction and A D -duction to separate the words because abduction and adduction sounds so much alike. Just been my experience. I have never posted a reply, but thought I could offer some advice on this one. Hope it helps.
