Word Spelling - afrase

Help!!  Is it written nonsurgically or non-surgically?

Stedman's has nonsurgical, but another dictionary might disagree - Just make sure you keep it consistent. nm

Nonsurgically is correct. Hyphens are not used with prefixes (nontender, preoperative, postoperatively). Only use hyphens with capital letters or abbreviations (non-Alzheimer dementia, non-MS weakness, non-Q-wave MI, T-wave abnormality).

I never thought I'd say this, but a dictator can do too much spelling.  There is one at my company who spells out every single medication.  While this is normally helpful, this doctor's pronounciation leaves a little to be desired.  It would be much simpler for him to just say the name of the medication.  ...

I'm not sure what got into Dr. Knucklehead's brain tonight, but he's spelling words like pannus, Trileptal, anasarca (which he spelled wrong).  It's bad enough he's doing it as often as he is because he's completely messing up the voice recognition for his drafts, but he has spelled pannus every freaking time he has said it. The patient has cellulitis below her pannus, so the word is coming up a lot in this report.   I have one more hour to go and then a ...
