I actually will hard return at the end of the line, which will bring you to the 2nd line going flush, and then hit TAB to line it up.  Takes an extra step, but I have to do that all of the time.  I don't know if this will help you in the short-term until someone wiser can answer or not???

Having trouble with an orthopedic sign
Doctor says he has no evidence and sounds like "aster cell" or something ruther. The patient has left elbow pain. When he pushes the elbow with the hand flexed and his elbow straight his arm kind of shakes. I think this is a type of neuro or orthopedic sign.

as some accounts are not able to process certain symbols. If you were able to do it the usual, correct way, it would be m with a superscripted 2 (no spaces, no periods). Some accounts I've done in the past have requested it written out as you have it. Best to check with your QA.

must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.


Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web. 


Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life.  For all we know, the poster could be a troll.  Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.

Subject: told perhaps by a french person?..sm

In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English. 


So, I'm thinking perhaps a person of French descent might have instructed you on that and in France/French-speaking countries, it would be correct, sac = sack; however, not here if used as a container to place something in that is not body-part related.

Or are the one and the same? 

 

Example: 

 

The infant is on pressor/pressure support (cardiac section). 

 

I get both on google.  Could you give me an example of when you would use either of these? 

 

Any help clearing this up would be MUCH appreciated!   TIA!

Subject: Trouble with difference between PRESSURE support and PRESSOR support...

Or are they the same thing?  Dictator says that the infant is gradually weaned from pressure OR pressor support and transferred to p.o. medications.  The infant has congestive heart failure. 

 

The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either.  Thanks for any help!
