not stupid
Subject: not stupid
Don't worry about it, have had many days like that, and I have been doing this 30+ years. Yesterday I could not get anything right. Happens to us all, and it does make sense later. I have looked at a lot of these word-help emails, and there are several that I had no clue on but always good to learn new things even at my old age.

Subject: 2nd day and feeling very stupid
I'm sorry ahead of time. Yesterday was awful and today only seems worse :( This is probably so obvious but because I am getting anxious, I can not hear anything now! The doctor says "... coughing, which initially was thought to be nonproductive but now (s/l livid) some productive sputum." Any help would be so greatly appreciated, and please don't laugh too hard! I may hear and get my feelings hurt. LOL

Subject: AAA repair. Please see message for stupid sentence!
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Talent endovascular graft with a "36 20 155" left main body and a "14 20 90 right limb with a P 50 10" Palmaz stent placed across the aortic seal zone.
Not sure how to type the number sequences:
He dictates "36 20 155" and
"14 20 90" right limb with a "P 50 10"
I have no idea if he means 36 x 20 x 155 or what!
Thanks!

by QA on one account, because she had addressed this before with the company and account, pussy would be changed to pus-like when dictated. But, I would check with your account specs or manager, as they may not want anything changed at all. Per Bos, page 340, adjective is pus-like, i.e., The wound was filled with pus-like fluid. HTH.

But my Stedman's disagreed (LOL) . . . intertrigonal is what netscape said "did you mean . . ." when I googled, and I actually went with intertriginous, which is what came up in the archives here when I asked the question, and Stedman's liked that too (although the PA did say "al" v. "ous".

I was told when I was training at one point WITH MedQuist (when I was still on full QA) to use the numbers 1 and 2 and not the Roman numerals. I hope that helps. It might very well be a matter of preference for the account you are working on, but I believe the numbers 1 and 2 are correct.
