I use the number 8 key for my ectomy words.
For examply. Appendectomy is programmed as a8
Cholecystectomy c8
Hysterectomy h8
Tonsillectomy t8
You get the idea. In the rare instance that this interferes with another word (i.e. T8 on a spine exam. I type t8n which means (NOT) so it will expand to simply T8.
instead of using the semicolon, I do pretty much the same thing but with the slash / on the right side of the keyboard. I use this pretty much when i can divide words such as t/a therafter. u/w underwent u/g undergone l/h lightheaded.
for family members I use the number 9. For example,
b9 is brother s9 is sister sil9 is sister in law d9 is daughter gm9 grandmother gd9 grandaughter.
I use the letter z quite a bit to just to phonetically shorten words. For example.
dz disease anz aneurysm rz resolve rzd resolved rzg resolving bz because czd caused czg causing etc. If i here a "z" sound in a word I take advantage of it.
My psych words take the prefix nut. nuts is psychosis nutc is psychotic lol. Cute, I know, but I never forget these.
For really common words that I type a zillion times: AR anterior pr posterior ll lateral ml medial I try to make these as short as possible.
