By the way.. You may hear this alot.. End stage liver disease, end stage

I believe it is ascitic fluid...like ascites, only with the c. It's ascitic

in Stedman's GI/GU words.

Jan, You're right, that's what I get for trying to do it off the top of my head,

without double checking the dictionary. It is ascitic. Thanks, MG

I had replied about this but had inadvertently sent it to only one person

instead of reply all and it never made the board. Stedman's word books has

end-stage (with the hyphen) when it is before renal disease, cirrhosis, etc.

Speaking of doing things wrong, which I know I do, but when I was first

starting out as an MT. My boss who was an MT would type this doctor who

always started his notes w/the patient's condition and what was wrong w/them

and then he would always say colon. Well, for years she would type colon.

When I started doing this doctor, and he never mentioned anything about the

colon, I questioned it and she realized he was saying : as in the 2

dots....lol...just wanted to share. The doctor or the clinic never said a

word to her about it for all those years.

Jan, Just make sure you make that macro for when it has to do with ascites.

Acetic acid (vinegar) is used for several things, including I believe to help

identify genital warts. Then of course there is ascetic, the way I made the

mistake of typing it, which we would probably not come across in medical

reports, which has to do with self-denial, austere, a person who leads a life of

strict self-denial, especially for religious reasons. Don't you just love all

these words that sound alike but mean totally different things.

This reminds me of the time that I put a note out to the people I worked with

asking if anyone knew if Betsy Hospital had changed its name to Betsy

Medical Center. One woman wrote back that she had called the hospital

and they have never used the name Betsy in their name and it was still ston

Memorial Hospital. These are two different hospitals, in counties very close to

each other. She has lived here all her life but had always typed just the one

and didn't even know that they were different. Oh the fun times we can have

with words. Margaret

Jan, A friend's daughter was once told that she was a perfectionist at work and

anal retentive. She got so upset that it just ruined her whole day and she was

hard to get along with for awhile. My friend told her daughter that, " Margaret

would take that as a compliment, she's so perfectionistic and anal retentive at

work it isn't funny. " She then told me all about it, including what she had

said to the daughter, and I agreed and laughed about it. I just can't seem to

get away from trying to make it all perfect, wish I could sometimes so I would

quit driving myself nuts. Margaret

Val, That one had me laughing so hard I started choking. Can't remember when I

laughed that hard. Reminds me of the type my supervisor had put out a question

for all of us to guess on for transcription week. At the end of the week, she

put up a note that said, " __________' guest was correct, she wins. " I didn't

come in until 3:30, so that had been posted all day. Of course, I had to go ask

her who this person's guest was that had won. She got so disgusted when she

realized that she had put guest instead of guess. Sometimes us peons just have

to tell our bosses when they are wrong. MG

Did anyone pick up on the fact that it's endstage

liver disease? Just curious! (or is it end stage?)

This string has been very amusing! Thanks!
