Your point? Obviously you have never looked the words up. They are interchangeable. In other words, they both mean the same thing, according to Websters Universal Dictionary.

British/European pronunciation
Subject: British/European pronunciation
Does the dictator have a British or foreign accent? Many British doctors pronounce "cephalad" as "Kephalad". For some reason that's how they learn to pronounce it. Could be the dictator is using a hard "K" sound for the soft "C" sound.

The patient returns today three years after her anteroposterior reconstruction for flat back deformity. No pain. She is here, however, because she has some prominence in her back that has gotten progressively more pronounced.
On examination, there is s/l right-sided hooks. I believe this needs to be removed. I feel she is solid because she has no pain.
Thanks for any help!!

adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

Gray bad?
Just wondering, has the rule changed in that gray must by abbreviated to Gy? Nothing in the BOS2. Nothing in CP. Account is verbatum. Doc says clearly gray, and since I have been typing him for 3 years, it has never been changed. QA had changed gray to Gy in an otherwise flawless report that I don't know why was sent to QA to begin with (this dictator isn't under 100% review and neither am I). Am I missing something, or is this QA on a power trip. I love QA and they do wonderful stuff, but, there are some who...well...may need to remove their heads from their bum.
