I found both Meyerson and Myerson signs in my Surgical Word Book
Subject: I found both Meyerson and Myerson signs in my Surgical Word Book

According to Google, they seem to both have the same definition.

Myerson's sign is a medical condition where a patient is unable to resist blinking when tapped on the glabella, the area above the nose and between the eyebrows. It is often an early symptom of Parkinson's disease.

Snout Reflex: percuss the upper lip near the midline - pursing or puckering of lips; glabellar reflex (=Meyerson's sign) - percuss on forehead in the middle above eyes: produces continued blinking with each tap. Also seen in Parkinson's. Grasp Reflex - stroke the mid-palm upward to fingers; you may warn the patient not to hold on.

Since, the doc is spelling Meyerson, I would give him that one.

Crazy huh?

MS-Word help. numbered lists
Subject: MS-Word help. numbered lists

Wasn't sure which board to post this on. Will try here. I've just reinstalled MS-Word. Previously, I had it set up to create numbered lists as soon as I typed a number, two spaces, and began typing text. After that, every time I hit ENTER, the list would continue numbering. I've gone to the bullets and numbering menu, and I can get the automatic numbered lists turned on. My problem is that every list is indented, but I want the lists to be flush with the margin. I can right click on the list and select "decrease indent", and that moves everything over, but I'd like to get rid of that step. Previously I had it set up to do all of that automatically. I just can't remember how to set that up now.

I hope I described this problem clearly. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it!

S/L dictator is saying a mass is "empeared" to the umbilicus. Later he uses same word and it sounds the same. I can't document. I'm new to surgical work and not 100% sure I'm hearing correctly. Would this be spelled "empired?"
