Subject: Reposted because of move (see message)
(Why, oh why can't they move comments along with the OP? Grrr...)
Anyway, if this is the sentence, "There are three cysts identified within the right kidney, the largest of which is in the upper pole and measures 6.5 cm in diameter," then no comma is used before "which." The prepositional phrase begins with ", the largest of which."
I was taught years ago that you put a comma before "which" if it is referring to the immediate preceding phrase.
In this sentence, it refers to the former phrase: "This is a 51-year-old pleasant gentleman who had a shave biopsy of the left shoulder which revealed a possible Clark's nevus." The "which" refers to the shave biopsy, not the left shoulder.
In this one, it refers to the immediately preceding phrase: "Will continue the sertraline but will increase the amount to 75 mg daily, which would be 50 mg plus 25 mg." The "which" refers to the 75 mg daily, not the sertraline.
Is this still correct? Anyone?
overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read
OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

She was on last night answering the one about chemo drugs.
No, you are not the only one seeing this. We seem to be the only ones talking about it.
I have noticed her quite a bit in the last few days and it just amazes me the answers she gives. I do not think she will stop, and I agree, I hope the people she is giving the info too will double check or leave it out and let their QA people handle it.

To the Monteurochannel posting. sm
I got this straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. Actually from the Peds Urologist whose work I do. He lives in Arizona.
A bladder augmentation with the small bowel ileum (ileocystoplasty) and the creation of a continent catheterizable channel using the small bowel and reconfiguring that into a short tube or channel that is implanted into the bladder. That allows the patient to catheterize from the abdomen (often the belly button) rather than having to cath through the urethra since after the augmentation they usually can not void enough to empty the enlarged bladder. It was described by a physician named Montie (I think at the Univ of Miami) and is now often called a Montie catheterizable channel. Both are an attempt to make a small bladder (eg neurogenic bladder) bigger to hold more urine and avoid urinary incontinence. Essentially trading an enlarged bladder with the need for catheterization to maintain continence for too small a bladder and incontinence.

It's a minor annoyance....but when you go to the verification page, do you have to click in the box to put in the letter/number combination?
On the other boards, the cursor is already there. I can't tell you how many times I have glanced at the code, entered it without looking at the screen, then hit "enter", only to get an error message and have to enter a new code. I finally started paying attention and as far as I can tell, this is the only board that does that.
As I said, minor but annoying.....wanted to see if anyone else has experienced that.
