Subject: stay with "guaiac"...
From what I can remember working in the lab (which was a while ago), normally guaiac and heme stools are pretty much done the same way (usually smeared onto 3 cards), both looking for blood in the stool for anemia, colon cancer, etc. I would say doc is repeating herself only because one system is gastrointestinal and the other is rectal, and just keep typing what she says.

usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report. He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0. The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG?? Thanks

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.

Were you asking if doc may be saying fluticason? If so, he's definitely not saying that.
Entire sentence:
He would very much like to stay off insulin if at all possible. If this is not keeping him under control, may add a s/l glitisone/glutisone type drug.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

good/well
Subject: good/well
According to Webster's, good as an adjective and standard after verbs like "feel" and "taste". It goes on to say that both "good" and "well" are used to express good health, but "I feel good" may connote good spirits in addition to good health. I was always taught in English class that one feels "good," not well. If you feel well, your fingers are working correctly. Since it says that good and well are both used to express health, perhaps you can take your choice. I would write that he looks good.
