Hi all,
There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

I'm a high producer and self starter. I don't need hand-holding. But, geesh, it's just human nature to want to hear a sincere, individual compliment for a job well done sometimes, if for no other reason than it motivates me to do a better job and make the company more money. At some point, it seems most management has started to treat the worker bees as enemies instead of part of the team. It's short-sighted and lazy, and I know it has to be costin ...
I am wondering what method you all use for transcribing. Do you listen and type word for word, or do you listen to the complete thought before typing it? Has anyone who was formally trained been taught a certain way? Has anyone switched from technique to another and seen a difference one way or another? I am continually trying to find ways to improve speed without a lot of success. I am very frustrated and having difficulty paying my bills.
