Your attitude will take you to the top of this field. If you are not afraid to do your own research and find your own answers, you will learn so much!
As a QA person, I can tell the difference in an MT's work who really cares and really tries hard to do their own work. The ones who seek the easy way out only hurt themselves. When you research and hunt and hunt and hunt for the right term, you better believe when you find it you will never forget it again. However, the ones who don't do their own work, don't seem to have the information planted in their memories and repeat the same mistakes over and over.
Your speed will go up and up and up because you will have the fund of knowledge in your head, while others will be sitting here on this board waiting for someone to answer their post.
Keep up the great work. You are going to be a wonderful MT. I wish we could clone you!

A hyphen may be used after non- but is generally used when the base word begins with a capital letter. Generally, though, as long as the base word does not have special meaning; the word is understood if non is not used before the base word, then no hypen. Since the base word "dominant" is understood without the "non", then no hypen is necessary.....hope this makes sense.

Google on "degenerative disc disease" and "degenerative disk disease". I use "disc" when transcribing for my ortho clinic because, when I got the account and asked for samples, each and every sample on each and every report used "disc". No matter what your research tells you, you will do what the client says, especially when it doesn't really matter. And this does not really matter.

10 cents per 65-char line
Subject: 10 cents per 65-char line
Hello all! I will soon be signing a new contract with the company I have been with for three years plus. I like them very much. I read on some of the other boards and saw all the negative reports about so much, but I can't say that I have that with my company. For the most part, I have as much work as I want. I can have any one of 50 doctors out of a university's surgical department. It covers areas from head to toe. No foreign guys. The worst I have to put up with is sometimes fast speakers. I have no problem getting off whenever I need to, just say I'm not available for these days. I try to treat that with respect. The pay is 10 cents per 65-character line. No extra pay for stat work but there is not much stat work. Any feedback?

bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
Subject: bladder reflection - my 2 cents worth
In Dorland's "reflection" means a bending or turning back. I have typed the expression often and am not truly sure how to explain it, but something like where the bladder is bent or folded onto the abdominal wall - as a location. Below is an excert from Google. What comes up in the notes I have is the following expression:
The anterior leaflet of the broad ligament on both sides was then incised along the bladder reflection to the midline from both sides and the bladder was gently dissected
The reflection of bladder on to the anterior abdominal wall is identified and the peritoneum divided at this position
