Yeah, but I believe the OP did mention that research had been done...sm

Subject: Yeah, but I believe the OP did mention that research had been done...sm

The OP had used Google and found instances of both words being used. Sounds more like the OP was looking for some help with the proper usage of the word in the context of a report. I don't see why she (or he) caught any grief for asking for opinions on the proper term to use.

    when doing the Google wildcard search you can use the MINUS(-) exception to narrow the search matches; you can also enter multiple asterisks within the quotes, e.g. "medial * * skin lesion" -biopsy will return all possible matches EXCEPT biopsy; hope that's not confusing...and hope it helps.

    However, it's a verbatim account.  When QA and the doctor send it back to me telling me to do what they say, I do it no matter what my reference book or spellchecker say.  The physicians are the ones who are making up new words or combining things, not me.

    Subject: ok...did more research...it's "pillar" sm

    Apparently in CTS release, "pillar pain" is common. Found this:
    After surgery, the healing edges of the ligament beneath the skin are usually tender for at least four to six weeks after the procedure. Temporary tenderness on each side of the palm where the ligament is attached to the bones on each side of the palm to these bones is common after surgery and is called "pillar pain". This generally resolves gradually. Hand therapy is often helpful during recovery.

    Not to flame but how is she doing it "on her own" with a full critique done here in public.  And I'll ask again, why isn't her QA helping her in the way they want her trained or giving her links to document her answers so she can research.  One learns better when one does for themselves rather than being fed by the silver spoon.
