Subject: dangerous person NMT is not evening knowing

and she IS the one who started it all

she bashes the very company who pays her while she puts them at extraordinary risk

she's dangerous and she doesn't even care -- she's not even made an apology for having done that or even realized what she did other than to cause a stir

she'll never be a quality mt and certainly not a valuable employee with her lack of insight or ethics

this one came out. Was it Brugada. I found a reference to blue velvet syndrome, which I thought at first was some archaic term. One of my other oldtimers finally found it as an EKG with elevated left ventricular and diastolic pressure caused by blue velvet, a street term for paregoric/amphetamine; cough preps with codeine.

I asked this question on yesterday, but I guess I need to clarify my question.

I am having trouble knowing when to capitalize the first letter of a medication or not when I am typing it in a sentence. What is an easy online reference that will help me to decipher this correctly?

Thanks so much for any assistance.

I believe the list of dangerous abbreviations says not to use "&" symbol, but to use "and." D&C should be D and C; O&P should be O and P, etc. Not sure if I'm remembering this correctly.

Does anyone know if this sounds correct? Thanks.

but some platforms do not support symbols like the "&" sign and so you might not be able to type it. On my employer's platform I can't type it or it will cause an error when the report is being sent.

Now please do not flame me for asking, but I am getting confused about some of these. The one for today is hs. Is it used at all? If so, is it hs or h.s.? I thought it was not used, but substitute "bedtime", but I do not find it in BOS and on page 463 of BOS 2 it lists "BT" as to not use but substitute "hs." Can anyone give me a definitive reply with citation of source? Thanks.

Account specifics usually tell you what is and is not acceptable if you are working for an MTSO who does hospital work. Joint commission rules do not apply in an outpatient or physician's office setting unless the client wants it. If this is a private account then you call the shots with the client's approval.

But I have seen one person in particular
who asks word after word that could easily be looked up. You can tell by the rest of the sentence and the s/l. I don't mind helping newbies; in fact, I enjoy it; but give me a break. Do some of the research yourselves, guys.
