Or if you have to list them numerically, it's about 3 keystrokes for each one, the return, and the first letter after the number will not be capitalized, delete the lower case . . .

a low level clerk could do it right?

Good point - BZB

Good point; low level clerk could do it, that's why it's gotten so boring, yet they need the MT to know it will be the right medication!

I thought they said ASR was learning.. - me

My effort to still provide the best quality I can resulted in barely anything completed in that time, a laughab ...
