Subject: Please report these posts that are on the Word board. (SM)

The design of the Word, Drugs, Abbreviations, Style, and Productivity boards are specifically to get assistance.

If there are posters being rude, bullying, or abusive to those asking questions on these boards, please report those messages. There is a box at the top right of your screen on every message that says Report Message.

Indeed, if posters do not want to be helpful on these boards, they should (and will, if reported) stay off of them.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm
Subject: Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm

While the gastrocnemius and soleus are 2 separate muscles, they come together in a common insertion to form the Achilles tendon, hence the frequent references to the "gastrocsoleus complex." The term "gastrocsoleus" would not be seen in Grey's because the information deals with the anatomy of each muscle individually, but that does not mean the two cannot be referred to and transcribed in the above manner.

Stedman's shows it as "gastrocnemius-soleus complex" while HPI Orthopedic Words and Phrases makes a reference to "gastroc/soleus." I have typed it as one word for many years and have never seen any QA objection to it. The bottom line will be, if your particular company or account has a preference, then go with that. In the absence of such a stated preference, however, it is acceptable to transcribe "gastrocsoleus" when dictated. Some will view it perhaps as slang or whatever while others will see it as merely constructing a medical term as done within the acceptable parameters of medical terminology for the purpose of referencing anatomical structures that share a point of commonality.

Subject: Cardiac cath questions, deleted posts? sm

Some posts just got deleted as we were trying to help someone.  My answer to her format question was: Some of my docs do dictate each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.

Didn't you ever get this?
Subject: Didn't you ever get this?

The reason it didn't occur to people was that you didn't give enough information to let them know it was part of the physical exam, either HEENT or neuro exam. When clues are provided, people are happy to help. Otherwise it's a lot of effort on their part and none on the person asking the question.

Subject: She didn't

you must not have read her post, which states:

"I agree it looks weird, but "appropriate for gestational age" is a compound modifier for "infant." Weird or not, that's the way it is. My opinion, if the correct way looks too "weird" for you and you don't mind getting pinged by QA, then use no hyphens at all because "gestational- age" definitely should not be hyphenated."

Another option, if this is not a verbatim account, would be to re-cast the sentence.
