break it down by the individual words

Subject: break it down by the individual words
There are a lot of osteotomies, so the word osteotomy stands alone. Chevron is a type of osteotomy - not named after a person, but rather the type of incision (V), so it would not be capitalized. The word mini is an adjective that defines chevron (not mini- shortened for miniature which would be hyphenated).
mini chevron osteotomy is what you are looking for
Someone may disagree, but I gave reasons for doing it the way I did.

I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?
I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.

I didn't say to use Google so that you could check "Joe's Spine Site". Most of us here use Google, and most of us are smart enough to know the difference between what we see on the Mayo Clinic or the American Heart Association websites versus other kinds of hits.
I do what my client prefers, the OP -- whether they mentioned that or not -- should do what their client prefers. Barring that, the only person here citing that there is a CORRECT (caps yours) usage for disc versus disk is you, and you just aren't a reference I trust so much, m'kay? I'll stick with my refs and my docs, thanks.
Still, you need take a breath before you have an aneurysm or something. I give surprisingly little thought to making you win or lose, just to answering the question.

*typr of kin incision used in cesarian section.*
what you typed in your post is above this line - with 4 typos in 8 words - you are only 50% in quality...IF THAT.
And Carol was nice enough to type the answer to you.....not realizing you're probably testing over offshore somewhere. This is not allowed on this board - we do not supply answers to testers.
not the spelling police here - just annoyed that they come in here and use us for the answers.........and this one appears to be an offshore MT just by what all she/he misspelled.......some of the most basic words.
Oh my goodness. Cut the girl a break.
Subject: Oh my goodness. Cut the girl a break.
She's new. She's already stated that. She's trying to do a good job. I don't think the answer is to kick someone when they are down. She probably has received very resourceful information here as most are willing to help newbies. Give the girl a chance!  She's not asking a s/l or asking the board to take her test for her, she's just feeling a little frustrated.

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!!!

This doctor is slurring bad so I don't even know if my examples will be accurate!! It sounds like she hasn't gone to med school OR general english and doesn't know how to pronounce words. Ugh.
- Glypenitin? Some kind of medication. Don't know what it is for as this patient has many diseases.
- Sounds like "see-ko" syndrome... I think. I can't understand her!! Fecal syndrome? LOL Maybe it's sickle syndrome.. I don't know.
- Sounds like "smith". As in positive ANA, positive SSA and SSB (I can't tell if it's SSA and SSB or just one or the other GRR!!!!), positive RNP, positive __________, positive rheumatoid factor.
I'm going to try to finish this report. Wish me luck. :/
For the fun of it!! Hydroclomibmwlap... I don't expect anyone to look THAT up. ;) That one deserves a big fat blank. Yes, that is the exact way she pronounced it.
Enavaprovolil was actually Enalapril. How horrible is that? LOL javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
Also, if anyone has a 2x4 so I can go beat this doctor senseless, I'd appreciate it. ;)
