NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
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!

This is getting ridiculous. Did everyone each a bowl of much for breakfast today, or am I just exhausted from a week of nothing but musheaters?


Sinus surgery (septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction), routine stuff. Sounds like "Bolinger frittle knife" - I swear. Going a mile a minute, even at the slowest speed.


"The inferior aspect of the mucosa was then lifted off a septal spur on the right side. The ...... was then used to excise a piece of cartilage"....


Help again, please...

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.
