Subject: Hospital experience as what? a doctor? a nurse? Or are you speaking of hospital experience as an
experience is, it lacks credibility especiall when you base it on YOUR experience. Who are you? How much experience do you actually have? What kind of experience do you have? How many diabetic patients have you encountered in your years of experience?
You can't expect to make a sweeping generalization like "all diabetics have hypertension" and not get called out on it. Come on! Know your place. Arrogance is an unattactive personality trait.

liposuction aspirate
Subject: liposuction aspirate
Wouldn't be the first time an MD used a word that was "no such word". What could "submatent" mean? Makes me think this way: MAT = mesenteric adipose tissue. Google images will display the typical product of liposuction if you do that search. Could be that the MD suctioned an area slightly below that tissue, i.e. "submesenteric adipose tissue." "E-N-T" would be the suffix that implies the product of that aspiration. If not, then I am just as stumped as you are.

I work for a hospital doing transcription and when they switched us from hourly pay to productivity pay, I went from making a little over $14/hour to over $20 an hour! It's funny, we all thought it was going to be a bad thing to switch and our bosses kept saying we think you all will be happy, wait and see. They were right! I do have medical/dental insurance thru them also, it was never based on my productivity whether or not I have insurance or not.

I have a dictator that said, "The child was born at term. Mom was 24 weeks' gestation." I always thought term was somewhere around 36+ weeks. He went on to say the birth weight was 6 pounds 13 ounces. Just from experience, I would think a 24-week gestation infant would not weigh that much.
Anyone in OB care to comment?

I'm diabetic, have been in the hospital and I don't have high high blood pressure. In fact, I have low blood pressure. You need to stop spouting off things like you are all knowing. Sheesh, what a goomba*!!
*Forget all the rest of the meanings of goomba, this is what a goomba really is: a goon, a goof, a kook, or poser who doesn't physically resemble a goomba from Mario Bros. but acts just like one. You know a true goomba when you see one.
