I was just making an observation. Gosh. Anyway, the Administrator admonishes using this site for testing purposes (sticky note at top of page). I have no problem helping people out, but I was just making a general statment that it isn't necessary for people to post three or four posts in a row for the same question without giving anyone the time to answer them. Patience is a virtue. As far as testing goes, I really don't care one way or the other, but others do and make that point well know. It is so hard to post on this site sometimes because anything you say is taken way overboard. I was only making a simple observation.

Your first example was wrong and the other posters were completely within bounds to point that out before any of these newbies you are attempting to so earnestly assist make a note of something that would get them dinged on the job. Besides, any quasi-decent MT course teaches this early on in their curriculum.

I will see him in follow up, or, I will see him in followup. I think it is followup, followup being a noun and follow up being a verb. What do you think? I'm editing and want to make sure I'm right.

Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.
Subject: Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.
You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.
