Tequin?
Subject: Tequin?

Is it an antibiotic? It is the brand name for gatifloxacin. Gatifloxacin is used to treat certain types of lung, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections caused by bacteria. Gatifloxacin is also used to treat certain types of gonorrhea infections (a sexually transmitted disease). Gatifloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluroquinolones. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infection. Gatifloxacin will not work against colds, flu, or other viral infections.

s/l *epidural bar and broad line * pls sm
Subject: s/l *epidural bar and broad line * pls sm

The canal was narrowed to 7 mm, and the disc osteophyte complex extended 4 mm into the canal.  At C6-7 there was moderate disc space narrowing with broad-based disc osteophyte complex, mild anterior s/l *epidural bar and broad line *central stenosis, a filling defect in the right neural foramen possibly representing a lateral disc protrusion, which would impact the exiting C7 nerve root, and a filling defect extending 7 mm in length x 4 mm.  It was uncertain whether this represented disc or disc osteophyte. 


This doesn't seem to make sense..  Any suggestions here? thanks


hyphens...gait is broad-based?
Subject: hyphens...gait is broad-based?

I am drawing brain farts with hyphens lately.  Just looked at Dr. Grammar.  Still no help.  I know that before a noun, two or more adjectives are hyphenated, as in broad-based gait.  But what about gait is broad-based. ? Are there new rules on hyphenation? Do we always hyphenate heel-to-shin and the like?

In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm
Subject: In broad generalizations, brand names are catchy and easy to say, generics often are not..sm

Brand names..Avapro, Motrin, Aleve, Bentyl, Rescon, Comtrex, Toradol...easy to pronounce, spelling makes sense, sound like a shiny corporate marketing group named them (which they did).

Generics...celecoxib, lazabemide, dexormaplatin, praziquantel... look and sound like a bunch of syllables randomly thrown together.

With experience you'll recognize the common suffixes of generics...-mide,-cillin, -olone, -xime.

But, really, it's just lots and lots of repetition of seeing, looking up, hearing, and typing them hundreds of times.
Any way you can work it into your spellcheck and/or macro program is the best help you can give yourself.
Brand names are usually shorter

These are not pain meds.  These are antibiotics.  "cillin" would be a great clue for the future to know that you are pretty much dealing with antibiotics.  Sometimes it seems you have to look at the whole picture.
