pus·sy
adj.
Containing or resembling pus.
I agree that pussy is not the most eloquent term used, but if the dictator uses it they obviously don't have a problem with it. If the account is verbatim, type it! If you have QA who get their panties in a wad or think Claudia T. and the AAMT are the LAW, then give them what they want...but it's THEIR issue to overcome...sigh...it's so ridiculous....:)

how to write "..well-corticated..."
Subject: how to write "..well-corticated..."
Just a general question: It seems a significant percentage of radiologists will use the term "well corticated" to describe an accessory ossicle or perhaps old trauma to differentiate what may appear to be an acute fracture. Since "corticated" is not an actual word, can anyone help with an appropriate way to rephrase this? eg "At the distal tip of the fibula is a well-corticated bony lesion, likely an accessory ossicle or old trauma and not an acute fracture."
maybe "lesion with good cortical margins" or some such, but wondering if there are other suggestions.
Thanks.

This was a legitimate question.

with the question. If you provide more context, it is FAR more likely that someone will be able to help you. Just posting some random words doesn't give us much to go on. If you want help, get that chip off your shoulder and MAKE IT EASY for people to help you. Sheesh.

apparatuses or apparatus. Have never seen a doc that didn't try to make up his own form of word from time to time either though...so if your account states strictly verbatim without the ability to correct grammar even when you know it's incorrect then I would type what he says.

Typing "wretching" would have taken you to the correct word, "retching." Unfortunately, with all dictionaries, you need to know the basic word to look up the spelling.
Good luck!

Subject: not OP but in Webster's Dictionary since 1980
In Webster's Dictionary since 1980 (as I know it and have one here), they have been putting non and re together with whatever comes after it....
nonexistent and reexcision for example.....
et cetera........
and so there should be no hyphen medically either but YOU ARE SO RIGHT, depends on who you work for #1, Client profile #2....and all QA personnel because some mark you correct and some mark you incorrect when you don't use a hyphen or use a hyphen in these cases.

Rule of thumb: If the phrase is used a noun, as in, "The patient is well developed," there is no hyphen. However, if it is used as an adjective, as in, "The patient is a well-developed male," then it is hyphenated.
Hope this helps!
