Subject: This is what separates the "Good" MTs
Your attitude will take you to the top of this field. If you are not afraid to do your own research and find your own answers, you will learn so much!
As a QA person, I can tell the difference in an MT's work who really cares and really tries hard to do their own work. The ones who seek the easy way out only hurt themselves. When you research and hunt and hunt and hunt for the right term, you better believe when you find it you will never forget it again. However, the ones who don't do their own work, don't seem to have the information planted in their memories and repeat the same mistakes over and over.
Your speed will go up and up and up because you will have the fund of knowledge in your head, while others will be sitting here on this board waiting for someone to answer their post.
Keep up the great work. You are going to be a wonderful MT. I wish we could clone you!

Google on "degenerative disc disease" and "degenerative disk disease". I use "disc" when transcribing for my ortho clinic because, when I got the account and asked for samples, each and every sample on each and every report used "disc". No matter what your research tells you, you will do what the client says, especially when it doesn't really matter. And this does not really matter.

Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.

You have to listen to the diagnoses to figure out which one to use because the doctors rarely specifically differentiate between the two. I had one who used to say, "That's B, N as in Nancy, P."

Opposition is the movement whereby the palmar aspect of the thumb touches the palmar aspect of another finger of the same hand. (When the contact is not by their palmar aspects, the movement is merely apposition.) The converse of opposition is reposition. These movements occur at all the joints of the thumb, although opposition takes place mainly at the carpometacarpal joint.(source--Dartmouth.edu)
