I have entered "pama" as my shortcut for parotid mass; but also I transcribe the phrase "palpable mass", and would logically use "pama" for that. What is a good way in general to handle phrases that would use the same shortcut? Also, specifically for these two phrases, what would you use? I would like to be consistent so the shortcuts are easy to remember. Thanks for your input- ...
Is there anyone out that that has a copy of Sylcount Gold line counting software that they are selling. I have upgraded to a new computer, but my original software was on a floppy disc, which I do not have on a new computer, and the software company is now out of business anyway. I was always able to go online and download a new or updated version of Sylcount when I needed to upgrade computers. Now I cannot use the line counting program. Please let me know if anyone has this counting program ...
I cannot get the software to give me totals except in tab delineation, and then I only get totals for each report, not the total sum, which I have to count manually. It keeps showing the documents being counted in the background as read-only, but they are not, unchecked box several times. Anybody?
Thanks in advance.
just me ...

My husband was having rust colored urine and suprapubic and abdominal pain. He went to doc who said he had infected prostatitis. Issue 1 is that he did have an affair some years back and I've read that his kind of prostatitis is kind of rare (about 20%) and this truly could be the case but it also said it could be caused by an STD. Anyone know anything about this? I hope it's not syphylis (I can never spell that word right) because symptoms ...
Patient with urinary tract problems. Doc says, "Patient has had percutaneous stone removal and s/l "ESAB welll." I'm not sure if I'm hearing the ESAB part right or even the "welll" part. Don't know if it a procedure or a device or neither. Anyone know? ...

I was told disc when referring to optic discs and disk when referring to the spine. Then I believe the standard was changed to disc for everything. I just recently started a new job where I was pinged for using disc in a lumbar steroid injection report by my supervisor who told me to use disk for the spine.
So which is correct? I can't keep up since they put a new book of style every other year.
Thanks! ...

Ugh, it should still be hyphenated, huh? Anyone? ...
Look how "excited" we are Nuance. Transparent? Nope, not even to somebody with a calculus degree. Your insult to our intelligence is the final slap in the face. Let the Indians do it. OH WAIT, that was your intention all along. Good luck with that, karma's about to bite you good. ...
Anyone else feel this way??? They come up with this majorly confusing way of "compensation" for us and have known all along a) we would not like it and b) the majority of us would not be receiving it, so their wish is coming true. Pretty soon they will have all Indians doing their work. I am giving it to end of January and then I am outta here too. Can't handle the stress of this new plan. Honestly liked the old way better, at least if I got the incentive I knew it w ...
It was explained to the patient that if in the future this should become painful, bothersome or if it becomes s/l systetically unpleasing to him, we could resect the osteophyte. Definitely does not sound like cosmetically. Thanks for any help ...
