Is this an abbreviation for tympatic membrane? Haven't run across this particular one before.

Gray bad?
Just wondering, has the rule changed in that gray must by abbreviated to Gy? Nothing in the BOS2. Nothing in CP. Account is verbatum. Doc says clearly gray, and since I have been typing him for 3 years, it has never been changed. QA had changed gray to Gy in an otherwise flawless report that I don't know why was sent to QA to begin with (this dictator isn't under 100% review and neither am I). Am I missing something, or is this QA on a power trip. I love QA and they do wonderful stuff, but, there are some who...well...may need to remove their heads from their bum.

Your point? Obviously you have never looked the words up. They are interchangeable. In other words, they both mean the same thing, according to Websters Universal Dictionary.

It is EVERT, not AVERT, right? I have always typed it with an E but I have a PA who keeps insisting it is A. I always thought Avert applied to gaze, as if to look away. Just want to make sure everting the eyelid is the right term. TIA.

It was, "refractive error for which he uses glasses". Sounded so clear after you gave me the 'refractive error' part. The doctor's British accent was charming but confusing too.
