Subject: Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand".
Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.

The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.
The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.
Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.

Were you asking if doc may be saying fluticason? If so, he's definitely not saying that.
Entire sentence:
He would very much like to stay off insulin if at all possible. If this is not keeping him under control, may add a s/l glitisone/glutisone type drug.
Thanks for your help.

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.

Acute polynephritis (APN) is commonly caused by an ascending urinary tract infection with E. coli. In the etiology of APN, besides the virulence of the bacterium, the resistance of the host and the reactive inflammation play an important part.
