Dear Avi,

Your English is great! Don't worry. I wish I knew Hebrew.

Just wanted to tell you that I also had hydrocephalus and Pseudo Tumor

Cerebrai along with ACM. I have 3 shunts now so I understand what you

might have gone through. The shunts are great though. I have learned

to appreciate what they're all about.

I hope things continue to go well for you. Hang in there.

Sending you a big hug from very HOT California.

You can turn off the grammar check while you are typing, assuming your green

lines are in Word. You go to tools, options, & then the spelling & grammar

tab. Uncheck the box near the bottom for " Check grammar as you type. " This

way, it will check the grammar with the spellcheck at the end. That gets

rid of all those green lines while you are working. I like mine that way so

that only red lines show typos/misspellings, which I fix as I go.

I don't really know for sure, but I guess it makes sense. If you have a

bandage covering more than one digit (fingers or toes???...anyway) and the

" distal " end of the bandage, or that part of it that is toward the tip of

the digits, moves or migrates somewhat, I suppose it could pull one digit

with it a bit and cause it to overlap another one. You think?

Every hear of distal migration of a bandage? It is 'distal' I am not

sure I am hearing correctly.

Upon dressing removal, the right 5th digit is overlapping the 4th digit;

most likely secondary to the distal migration of the bandage

Any help appreciated.

Hi! I found xerostomia meaning dry mouth. Hope this helps!

(unknown)

" Spells characterized by a kind of visual blurring and a general feeling of

heaviness along with some s/l zero stomia. "

This is waht the doc says, but I cannot document this word. It might also

be one word like s/l zerostoma.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm not sure about the drug, but I have been told several times that Type II

Too late for my brain to work. The 1 1/2 weeks is not correct but I

....started approximately 1 1/2-weeks ago. Pt. points to the plantar

[Guest guest]

Wouldn't this read literally " started approximately one to one-half week

ago? " Wouldn't it make more sense if it read " approximately 1.5 weeks ago "

or " 1 to 1.5 weeks ago? " If you have a half a fraction indicating a time

measurement, it would be placed before the whole measurement of time, as in

" approximately one-half to one week ago. "

Also, if it were to be correct as one to one-half week, there wouldn't be an

's' on week because it isn't a plural week. However, if it were one AND a

half weeks ago or one to one and a half, it would be plural.

I think it's just dictated as " one and a half " , and they're following the

guidelines in the AAMT BOS that for mixed fractions if you cannot create

reduced-size fractions that can be placed directly following whole numbers,

then use the " numeral-virgule-numeral " style, placing a hyphen between the

whole number and the fraction (Page 146). )

Yes, if the " to " was dictated. She didn't include it in her statement so I took

it literally.

Well the way I read the new guidelines which made its way around the

email NMTC we are too use numerals now. I agree that I was stumped with

the weeks vs week. But I ended up using weeks. Thanks for sharing.

Hello MGrant@... (Margaret Grant),

In reference to your comment:

è I always recast the sentence, something like Repeat

è x-ray

I agree, but what does one do if one is on a " verbatim " account??? We are

allowed to fix glaring errors and grammar... Guess " re-x-ray " would fall

under either one of those eh?

[Guest guest]

Just to add a bit on this:

When I worked for a group of radiologists (before relocating), they often

dictated " re-x-ray " and made it clear on more than one occasion that when

they said " re-x-ray " they meant " re-x-ray " ... not " repeat x-ray. " Think

it's another " not right, not wrong " issue, but if it is a verbatim account,

I would transcribe as dictated. I certainly, as do others I'm sure, don't

care for " re-x-ray " , but hey ... they dictated it, they know what they want,

and they certainly (and SHOULD) know a bit more than I (although my recent

course does indicate a preference for " repeat x-ray " ). With that said,

" re-x-ray " used as a verb would necessitate recasting the sentence. Who has

time for all that when re-x-ray is just fine. If I sound a tad snippy, I do

apologize. With all the account changes/software + hardware expenditures,

etc. this past month, and equipment breakdowns/replacements, my expenses for

2001 pretty much meets, if not exceeds, my income for 2001. Just a bad year

all around I guess. Let's all hope/pray for a better 2002

(profitability-wise too!). I'm with ya' Chris. When my husband hears yet

another ref book hitting the wall, he jumps in with " now, you keep saying

you LOVE your job. What the heck would you throw if you hated it? " Hmmm

.......... good point. I really do love it and wouldn't trade it for

anything (most days!!!).

I'd have to say that it is a love-hate relationship right now (the business,

not the marriage). I know that it would make things easier to just say

" enough is enough " and go get a real job working 8 hours, but then what the

heck would I do with the other 16 hours in a day? (eat normally, sleep, be

Aww Susie....Christmas did me in this time around...I nudged up a bit

also.....

But those are great lipid results!!

Another interesting bit of news....right at diagnosis my c-reactive protein

was 7!! The highest it could go and this time they repeated that and it was

1.9...slightly elevated

I hope you feel well enough soon to exercise. Hate that Syndrome X

thing...exercise is so crucial to us.
