Spellcheck
Subject: Spellcheck
If you are using a medical spellchecker program, I don't know why you would use MS word to spell check anything. the spellchecker program runs in the background and underlines everything in red that is misspelled. so much easier than having to do a spell check on every document! just a suggestion.

Nonobstructing spell checks but I always hyphenate it as I think it looks better and is clearer. Just my opinion.

I will not use it either. I do not think it is professional looking and if I was still going through training, it would not be acceptable to the school either. but my Stedman's spellcheck will not accept it, either.

If your spellcheck checks for capitalization (like Word), you can just type the med in lower case, and it will mark it as wrong if it needs to be capitalized. You can then put the ones that need to be capitalized into autocorrect so you don't have to memorize brand names.

Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm
Subject: Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm
 After completing the typing in a Microsoft Word document, I do a spell check. When the spell check is complete, and I have to hit okay, it makes a really, really loud DING, and because I am using ExpressScribe and have to have the volume up on my headphones, it is really causing me problems with how loud the DING is, as it either scares the heck out of me or I also believe it is giving me a headache. So, I have to take my headphones off while doing the spellcheck, so I'm not deaf by the end of the day. I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the DING. I would be so appreciative!

While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...
Just my opinion, of course.

dictionary before using it. Decubitus is an adjective - it describes the type of ulcer, or type of position. I don't think you can make an adjective in the plural form.
If you google "decubiti plural", you'll see a list of medical books that quote it to be an incorrect form.
I think it's just one of those things that so many people have accepted it in that form that they think it's correct, when it really isn't.
