Yes, the KVO allows easy access
Subject: Yes, the KVO allows easy access

warranted.  In my experience, the KVO rate was used during a transesophageal echocardiogram wherein if the patient needed a bolus of a med, then the line was there to give it.  Saline was given at a KVO rate, but I think it also (slow drip) allowed hydration for the patient while undergoing the procedure.  I believe these drips given at KVO rate can be started a lot of times in the ER to allow venous access.

. . . dressing of fluffs were placed . . . .   "Dressing" is the subject which requires a singular verb, was.  "Of fluffs" is a prepositional phrase which has to be ignored when deciding on the correct verb to use.

Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"?  I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated.  For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale.  HELP!  I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!


Thanks!

Hi jc: Don't know the word you are looking for yet, but I believe every placed you have transcribed "impart" should be "in part."

An" goes before all words that begin with vowels:

  • an apricot
  • an egg
  • an Indian

with two exceptions: When u makes the same sound as the y in you, or o makes the same sound as w in won, then a is used.

  • a unicorn
  • a used napkin
  • a U.S. ship

You are right, it should be are, because data is a Latin term, the plural of datum. But it is used as singular. I would also like to use are, instead of is. Type it as dictated. Most people use 'is'.

In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm
Subject: In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm

Brand names..Avapro, Motrin, Aleve, Bentyl, Rescon, Comtrex, Toradol...easy to pronounce, spelling makes sense, sound like a shiny corporate marketing group named them (which they did).

Generics...celecoxib, lazabemide, dexormaplatin, praziquantel... look and sound like a bunch of syllables randomly thrown together.

With experience you'll recognize the common suffixes of generics...-mide,-cillin, -olone, -xime.

But, really, it's just lots and lots of repetition of seeing, looking up, hearing, and typing them hundreds of times.
Any way you can work it into your spellcheck and/or macro program is the best help you can give yourself.
Brand names are usually shorter
