How about trying Google or a medication website? - I dontGetit

[ In Reply To ..]
Really? MTs really take the time to write out a message asking for help on a medication and wait for an answer instead of doing a quick Google or going to a favorite list drug site? What the heck?? I cant believe that anyone would even answer someone that can't take the time to look up something so simple. Wonder why are wages are in the tank?

I never thought I'd say this, but a dictator can do too much spelling.  There is one at my company who spells out every single medication.  While this is normally helpful, this doctor's pronounciation leaves a little to be desired.  It would be much simpler for him to just say the name of the medication.  ...

Anyone ever had this happen? You spell something and you know it's right, plain and simple - however, the doctor corrects you on it, but its still wrong!! Do you spell it "wrong" -just for him only- to make him happy so he doesnt think you're not doing your job right or do you keep on spelling it "right", which he says is "wrong"?   ...
