MOFT or MLFT paperwork associated with "end-of-life care"
Subject: MOFT or MLFT paperwork associated with "end-of-life care"
I am not absolutely sure about the M (could be N) or O (could be L), but I know it is an accronym as he says:
"discuss end-of-life care and capital M, capital O, capital F, capital T paperwork."
I cannot figure out what kind of form this is or what the accronym stands for. He says it so quick I am not even sure I have the right letters!

Way to remember this:

melenic is adjective of noun melena (blood in stool)

I can't remember how long it took me to be able to type at a 1:2 ratio since I have been doing this for about 15 years. However, I do know that it took me longer than 3 to 4 months, especially since I was looking everything up in reference books to double check my spelling as I didn't go to school for medical transcription. Maybe someone else has a better idea. I DO remember being frustrated that it was taking me so long to finish a tape (back when I did tapes, LOL!).
