not OP but in Webster's Dictionary since 1980
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.
I use long-standing per my Webster's dictionary. NM

I know, I have an OB clinic that is doing the same thing. Sometimes you just have to say okay if that's the way you want it that's what you'll get and go on. It's hard though, especially when you take pride in your work.
I noticed right away that you had fixed the templates and it was wonderful. I found each one I needed right away.
Don't let it bother you, I think you did a great job cleaning those up, they were a mess.

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!

Actually it is incorrect to
Subject: Actually it is incorrect to
type protime, even when they dictate it. Set your expander to expand protime to prothrombin time because that is truly the correct way to type this on a medical report. That way when they undergo audit it will not come back to transcription who didn't type it with HIPAA correctness. I wish they would educate doctors to dictate things correctly in the first place to avoid all this, but I think even if they did the dictator would still dictate things the way he "thinks" in his head. It is hard to teach old dogs new tricks unless they are transcriptionists. If we don't learn new tricks they will replace us, right?
