Help with Word needed

I'm having trouble with a report with some radiology terms. My question is: Is the word I am typing "hyper-avid" an actual term that makes sense in this sentence? Here's the sentence: She had subsequently had a PET scan which revealed retroperitoneal as well as mediastinal lymphadenopathy which is all hyper-avid. If the word is correct, is there a need for a hyphen? Should it be all one word, or just two separate words? What I need is a good online source for ...

I'm attempting to create a generic overall macro for my VR editing that includes multiple corrections, two of which are g and L to grams and liters (account preference for single-letter measurement designations, and hey, more characters for me). However, when I try to do this via Find and Replace function in Word, even when supposedly adding a space before and after the g and L, I end up with those characters being replaced in any word that begins with either of them (i.e., 1 g gentam ...

Hi any help would be so much appreciated! I am thinking of going into MT.

Thank you in advance to anyone who could help me out.. & ...

You know, we hear tales, hope they're not true, but now I believe that the evil Q is intentionally sabotaging our work! I've been on 100% QA for failing my audit. Yesterday I was being audited again, was aware of it and was working e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y carefully, very conscious and aware of everything I was doing. My production was down a bit, but my accuracy was spot on! As we all know, they audit 5 reports and average out the score. My accuracy was 9 ...

I came across a website this past summer from someone that posted on MTstars and cannot find it again. It stated that if you were a graduate from another school you could still take some courses or mentoring from them to beef up your resume.

I am working on a discharge summary for obstetrics by a Chinese physician and it is very difficult to understand him. In the HPI, he dictates what sounds like, "on the morning o addmission, the patient had a vaginal exam of 3cm-hand-placental cebo," I have listened over and over and cannot come up with what he might be dictating.

I am an MT student of At-Home Professions with a course completion of 76%, and have landed a temporary job with my primary care physician. The job entails transcribing 2,000 patient files for her clients as she closes her practice. I have been told the files will be relatively simple.

Are there any old timers out there who might give ...

I need some advice. I have been an MT for about six years now. I have worked for this specific company for about a year now. I will get feedback from QA (not the clients) that I know is incorrect, per BOS standards incorrect, nothing to do with account specifics.
