There used to be a book by the above title.  I cannot find it on google.  I have several 1,000 macros, but I know I could do better, because some MTs on my team are smoking me, and I am fast.  Anyone know where I can get that book?
Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts

The studies demonstrated carotid artery disease but, also, she has a platelet count of 1004 k per cmm and persistent reduction in her hemoglobin and hematocrit at 9.4 and 31.5.


Does anyone know how to format this?  I can't find the K at all in relation to these values, but doc is  clearly saying,  1004 K per cmm.  thank you.


re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts

K is abbreviation for thousands; also used as abbreviation for potassium. platelets are expressed in thousands.

I think the 1004 k/cmm should be expressed this way.

Gamma knife

I'm taking a poll.   I typed Gamma knife in an op report.  I looked it up in Tessier The Surgical Word Book to confirm that the G is capitalized, which it was when used with knife.   I had numerous 'typo' QAs and it was changed to  gamma knife.

Subject: Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT)

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT or GGPT) is also an enzyme produced in the bile ducts which may be elevated in people with bile duct diseases. Hepatitis and heavy alcohol consumption also increase GGT. Normal ranges from 12-55 IU/L.

s/l Habeeb Technology/Probe
Subject: s/l Habeeb Technology/Probe

The doctor was dictating an op note, resection of liver mets and RF ablation of liver mets. First he refers to "using Habeeb Technology" and then later he refers to a "Habeeb probe." I checked all my reference books and googled every combination I could imagine until I finally gave up andI sent it on to QA, but cannot check to see what he was saying until this evening, and quite frankly, I am really curious if anyone has heard of this before? He is an ESL so I may be totally off base with it.
