Posted: Dec 16, 2009

He has clearly used this word several different times, but I don't see it in Stedman's Ophthalmology- help please? TIA

maybe saying "hypothalamus" (part of the brain) ? (sm) - Mushroom

[ In Reply To ..]
maybe the sentence would help

hypophthalmos/ - hyperophthalmos

[ In Reply To ..]
These words are found in pretty much any journal article dealing with orbit fractures:
hypophthalmos - displacement of globe inferiorly
enophthalmos - displacement of globe posteriorly
hyperophthalmos - displacement of globe superiorly
exophthalmos - displacement of globe anteriorly
(Stedman's does not list words with all of their possible prefixes)
Here's an example: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/867687-overview

Thank you so much! That is what I needed :) - Jane

Clearing Up VR Training Confusion
Nov 13, 2012

We need to clear some things up for new people, or those who have only done straight MT and will soon be doing VR.  VR DOES NOT require special intensive training, other than, of course, you still need to know how to be an MT.  That being said, make believe you typed a letter in your word processing program and you noticed a ton of errors when you went to proof it.  You would just fix them, right? It's the same thing, only if you're using the mouse, you would need to l ...

I have used Shorthand 10 for several years and have never had as big a problem with expanding until I started using escription.  I work on v. 9, 10 and 11 and am seeing errors that are clearly expander related that I absolutely do not see or catch when I am in the reports.  I am to the point of starting from scratch on my Shorthand as it has so many entries that it would be easier just to start over.  What I am wondering is what settings those of you who also use Shorthand have on ...
