Apparently this one is to be followed along with the BOS2, DQS Standards and Guildelines, and the CP. I just don't understand why we can't use just one. Most of the things in it are the same, but others are the opposite of what I've been taught and what the BOS2 says (for example, it is now okay to start a sentence with a number). They at least explained what qualified verbatim is. ...

I am going to sit for the CMT in December, and I've been going through the CMT Review Guide. What I am wondering is how indicative of the acutal test is it? Were the questions/dictation samples easier or harder than the actual test?
I feel like I have a good handle on the material in the Review Guide, but I don't want to be blindsided in December and totally embarrass myself.
TIA!
And yes, I am not a big fan of AHDI, but I do get a pay incentive for this, so that makes it worth my t ...

Hi,
Has there ever been a determination made as to the correct use of Perma-Cath versus PermCath? Both are on Tessier's Surgical Word Book. When to use which? ...
Weird - I typed Perm-A-Cath both in the title and body of the report; however, the spell check only caught the one in the body, and insisted I change it to PermCath.....
Maybe my spell check won't catch caps....
Anyone?
PS - I'm going to change it in the title just to cover myself....thanks! ...
