and a VERY good one that was recommended to me by someone on this board is

In med list, doc states Carbetrol 900 mg q. h.s.
There is no mention of seizures, but there is mention of back pain and I noticed that Carbetrol can come in 300 mg tablets, and that it can also be used for trigeminal neuralgia, which there is no mention of either. This is an ESL, so it is posisble that I am not hearing right, but it was never mentioned again. Past medical history is bipolar, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and gastritis. Thank you!

I type verbatim, so if the doc dictates of I put it that way, if not, I don't, but have seen QA do this to me many times. To me this is so insignificant and it does not critically change the patient's care in any way, I just let it go. Some of my QA people change it, some don't, wish they'd be consistent, but I really don't worry about it.

But I would think that the sentence would probably be:
"Heart size and epsilons are normal."
Can you hear the "and" if you listen real carefully?
Epsilons are not related to the heart size per se. They're waves that can be seen on an EKG.

This happens to me often and at random. Sometimes if I have my email up at the same time I'm working, if I close it, or exit the web entirely the problem may resolve. Other times I've exited my word document and the problem resolves...sometimes not. Sometimes I've had to reboot...sometimes the problem resolves and sometimes not. It's still a mystery to me.

I was taught this based on the BOS.
If 7 cm is being used as an adjective (as in describing something or modifying the noun), then it has a hyphen. Otherwise, it does not.
Examples:
1. The patient had a 7-cm area of rash on his arm.
2. The rash was measured at 7 cm.
3. A 7-cm Batman figurine was removed from the child's ear.
4. The Robin figurine was only 5 cm tall.
In examples 1 and 3, the measurement is being used to modify the nouns and help describe the noun further. I hope this helps. :)
