Subject: Need good site for EMG terminology...
I'm doing more neurology than I've ever had to do, and unfortunately one of the authors is not the clearest speaker. Trying to find some good references for EMG test results/terminology, have spent a lot of time Googling with no really good sites showing up yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The blank sounds for all the world like "styloids."

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!
