hyphenated words.
Subject: hyphenated words.
<>
The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

African-American hyphenated?
Subject: African-American hyphenated?
I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.
Just call me cornfused and befuzzled.

Does it matter when the doctor dictates the names in a different order than is listed in the word books? For example, O'Connor-O'Sullivan vs. O'Sullivan-O'Connor retractor.

Hi, I'm a semi-new transcriptionist who has had no formal training, and I'm having some problems figuring out a couple spellings. One is a medication called *Inderon* (not sure how to spell). The other is a phrase that I'm not sure what exactly the doctor is saying. It sounds like *bill-raw-2 anastomoses* Thanks SO much for any help!!!
