ortho exam: some kind of strength ... sm
Subject: ortho exam: some kind of strength ... sm
Sentence is..." Grip strength was 50-55 pounds on the left and 35-40 pounds on the right..."-----" strength was 11-12 pounds bilaterally."
It starts with a T and is a very short word, may be like Tip but really not sure. That would be a total guess. Thanks for any suggestions!!
(This is the doc who uses microcassettes, while listening to a ball game on the radio and apparently dictating on a bus or something nice and quiet like that!)

ER MT, it's a shame when we come to the WORD HELP board for help and get bashed for asking. I've been doing this for 30 years and still come across words on a daily basis I don't know. It is a constant learning process. There is no MT out there that knows everything, which is why it is nice to come here for everyone's input. There really is no need for anyone to be nasty about it, but sometimes they are. We all have those days where we've had a long day, can't think anymore, are doing a report type or specialty we are not familiar with or maybe are drawing a blank, so just shrug it off and remember to ask for help on the WORD HELP board any time, regardless of what others may say, that's why it is there. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
