Drug regimen - Happy MT Robin

Posted: Jul 23, 2010

Can I just say it's drug reg - i - men, not drug rejeem (regime). A regime is a form of government or a set of rules. When you are talking about a series of drugs, it is regimen.

I love it when the assistants dictate this stuff this way.

I would use the correct word - regimen... - nm

What about when they say - ejection fracture

I have one PA who always says ejection fracture. It's not just a slip of the tongue; she says it every time.

LOL. I know what you mean. - Happy MT Robin

I always do use regimen. I'm not sure why this got moved to the Word board. I had it posted on the main board initially, as I wasn't asking for anything, I was just commenting on pronunciation foibles at 2 am.

What I really love is when they are talking like Speedy Gonzales and going so fast that they actually trip themselves up. I want to just say, if you'd slow down just a hair, you'd actually save yourself time in the long run.
