Someone gave this explanation a few days ago and it is more helpful. mucus = noun mucous = adjective Mucus is stuff that is secreted by the mucous membranes. For example: Bronchoscopy revealed thick mucus. We used suction irrigation to lavage out 2 or 3 large mucous plugs from the left bronchial tree.

Sorry, I wanted to post that really quickly but was on the phone. Anyway, I live in Hawaii and on the island where Kawaihae Harbor is and we say pretty much every vowel you see. So it would be more Ka-why-high. Kauai on the other hand is usually pronounced Ka-why-E (kind of a slurred version of how it should really be pronounced).
Thanks for the explanation

The patient suffers from mild cognitive impairment. He was unable to guess his birth day, but made a couple of guess. The doctor said that several of the guesses were right. I found it amusing, because I have yet to hear of some one with more than one birthday.
Thank you - excellent explanation of it.
Subject: Thank you - excellent explanation of it.
I have the Stedman book but couldn't find it. It also didn't help the doc didn't pronounce it anything like labelled red cells - I found it on numerous searches.

I was told after my 3rd miscarriage that I was RH negative. This is what I remember from that, there may be more to it that I don't remember, please keep that in mind.
Since I am type O-, and my husband was B+ due to the RH factor my body saw it as a foreign object and rejected it. Thay gave me a shot to prevent this. I cannot donate blood b/o the RH thing and cannot receive anything other than O- blood.
I thought this only had to do with O blood types though. Was your husband a type O?
sure does...it's Ficat stage IV! sm for explanation :)
Subject: sure does...it's Ficat stage IV! sm for explanation :)
Radiographic staging of AVN was first proposed by Ficat and Arlet in the 1960s and later amended in the 1970s. This 4-staged system delineates the natural history of AVN from normal radiographs (stage I) to cystic changes and sclerosis (stage II) to subchondral collapse or femoral head flattening (stage III) to finally joint space narrowing (stage IV). However, this system does not differentiate certain phases in disease progression (eg, subchondral vs femoral head collapse), nor does it quantify the size and extent of the lesion.

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.
