Docs mispronounce words all the time.   99% of my docs say Perm-a-Cath, but it is PermCath.    Docs spell things and spell them wrong all the time.  One of our jobs as MTs is to know enough to know doc is saying/spelling something incorrectly and correct it.

I'm not in any way picking on you, but somebody below asked how to look up words when you're not sure what they are. Since you knew it was some kind of fork, you could have looked up "fork" in the MPI and it lists 7 different medical forks, and you would have been able to deduce 'tuning fork' from this since you had a soundalike. I learned more new words from this reference book than anything else.

He had to say it about 8 times, and by the end it was sounding like plain 'ol amphetamine. Nasty stuff though. The patient who OD'd on it was in a coma with fever of 106!

"Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner
Subject: "Ortho RICE" -- from an emergency department nurse practitioner

very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT.

experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience.  Who are you?  How much experience do you actually have?  What kind of experience do you have?  How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?


You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it.  Come on!  Know your place.  Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

I am so confused on this one.  I have typed it several different ways over the years.  Do I really need to put any apostrophe in there at all?  Thanks!
