I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

The reason it didn't occur to people was that you didn't give enough information to let them know it was part of the physical exam, either HEENT or neuro exam. When clues are provided, people are happy to help. Otherwise it's a lot of effort on their part and none on the person asking the question.

you must not have read her post, which states:
"I agree it looks weird, but "appropriate for gestational age" is a compound modifier for "infant." Weird or not, that's the way it is. My opinion, if the correct way looks too "weird" for you and you don't mind getting pinged by QA, then use no hyphens at all because "gestational- age" definitely should not be hyphenated."
Another option, if this is not a verbatim account, would be to re-cast the sentence.

I'm suspect of the real identity of the person posting as the president of Sten-Tel (in 2 places already). I guess my attention wasn't garned here so it was reposted at the top of the board. Anyway I said what I felt I wanted to say and he didn't want to engage, so I can let it be.

Although he does mention "near the perforation" later in the report.
My point is, docs sometimes use the abbreviations they use in speaking in their reports as well. Most of the time I will type them out, but it bugs me either way - I like to type verbatim and not add anything the doc didn't say, but if he says it wrong, what are you going to do? (Except maybe leave him a message.)
