what? you mean I've typing this wrong for 25 years?
Subject: what? you mean I've typing this wrong for 25 years?
That cannot be. Don't think I'll be changing my ways anytime soon. Your reference book really says that? So, a patient would be gravida X, para IX, AB VIII? Absolutely no way.

Will get EMGs. The patient has evidence of s/l palmarthrorheumatosis. He runs it together, so it may be palm (or palmar) arthrorheumatosis.
Any help is appreciated. :)

I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....
Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
Subject: Wow, thank you. Just years, years and more years of experience
and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

I have listened, re-listened, and even had my husband listen and he says he's definitely saying poopy too! Can you imagine?! I tried comparing it with what you guys are telling me, and it darnitall if it's not clear as a bell that he's saying "poopy looking."
I already sent my report in because it's gettin' late and I've got TAT to meet, but I'm sure I'll hear about it if I did bads. I'm just giggling away though with this one. One more poopy report to type up and I'm donesies for the night. Glad I could give you guys a smile at the end of what I'm sure has been a long day.

Can't remember which is correct. The patient is 40 years old or the patient is 40 years'old?
40 years of old doesn't seem right. So I am leaning towards 40 years old. Started new job and my brains have gone out the window.
Thanks.

pack years
Subject: pack years
Personally, I would not hyphenate that he smoked for 120 packs years as you state it, as there is no adjective describing a noun. On the other hand, I would hyphenate if he has a 120-pack-year history of smoking, because that is a triple adjective describing a noun.
