basic human anatomy (thumb has "opponens" musculature) sm

Subject: basic human anatomy (thumb has "opponens" musculature) sm

Opposition is the movement whereby the palmar aspect of the thumb touches the palmar aspect of another finger of the same hand. (When the contact is not by their palmar aspects, the movement is merely apposition.) The converse of opposition is reposition. These movements occur at all the joints of the thumb, although opposition takes place mainly at the carpometacarpal joint.(source--Dartmouth.edu)

posterior cuff musculature in the (terry’s) area
Subject: posterior cuff musculature in the (terry’s) area

Rotator cuff tear. . .


The tear appears to extend into the infraspinatus as well.  I did assess some posterior cuff musculature in the terry’s area.  His anterior cuff looks fine with the subscapularis intact and the biceps centered in the groove.


Ever heard of this? Thanks.


as no HUMAN name is before it...sm
Subject: as no HUMAN name is before it...sm

the original poster said something like "pt to be seen by cardiology and infectious disease departments" -


These are not proper nouns/names..........it would only be a proper noun/name if the hospital name precedes it.....i.e., St. Mary's Dept of Cardiology and/or St. Mary's Infectious Disease Department, or a name like....John Doe's Dept of Cardiology etc., etc.


Unless, of course, your client wants these things capitalized...but even if your client wants them capitalized, without a proper name preceding the departments, your client would be incorrect, but again one gives the client(s) what they want.

Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm
Subject: Helping the offshore "MTs" with these basic terms they should know sm

will only mask how bad this situation is with their appalling ineptitude. (They have their own boards anyway.) We cannot help someone who cannot or will not help her/himself. These "MTs" can spend all their hard-earned money on reference books, take courses and go to lectures the way the rest of us have and can learn this very difficult work the hard way, LIKE WE DID. Hopefully, someday, these greedy MTSOs will see the errors of their ways, and we'll have our jobs back, we'll be able to pay our bills and feed, cloth, and house our families again.
