It is really hard to tell though if they are using the brand name. I usually just put "Steri-strips".

Either steri-stripped or recast sentence
Subject: Either steri-stripped or recast sentence
When you change the form of a proper name it is not capitalized. For example, bovied, kocherized, steri-stripped, etc. That being said, I would recast the sentence, if allowed, to say Steri-Strips were applied.
Steri-Strip is the brand name (see link with picture)

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

This is a patient admitted for a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Here is the sentence that makes no sense, this is an ESL, too.
A focus was then placed ** after careful** level of the angle of the mandible, probably to presented dental disease or some mandible node.
The sentence before: A PET scan showed the primary FDG-Avid located probably in the cervix, and no evidence of regional metastatic disease, no evidence of distant metastatic disease.
Thank you for any help with this mess.

In the hospital I use to work, the surgical department had many subdepartments three of which were called Supply, processing and distribution, These areas were labled within surgery, I never really knew what each departments responsibilities were because I had never seen it in a report.

I blanked it about 20 times because I couldn't document it but never got any feedback, so now I just type IGMO and haven't had any feedback from that either.

I actually corrected a radiologist to her face because she was using that very term incorrectly, just like your dictator! She admitted she'd had a discussion with a professor in school about that word, and I could tell she couldn't understand it when he explained it and couldn't understand me either! She didn't think I was right, but she finally said she didn't care if I changed it! I was appalled that somebody with an MD & I think a PhD couldn't get the concept! What a nut!
