do you say 5 feet, 4 inch woman or 5 foot - dawn
Posted: May 29, 2011
5 feet or 5 foot. I think it should be 1 foot and anything over 1, then feet, but now its sounding weird. I always type feet. Just wondering what other people do.

If the height measurement is being used before or after the word "woman." If it is being used before, it would be, for example, "The patient is a 5-foot-4-inch woman." If it is being used after, it would be "The patient is a woman who stands 5 feet 4 inches tall."

I've always been corrected when I use ..-foot, to ..-feet.
But 5-feet-4-inches woman sounds weird.
A 5-foot-4-inch woman sounds better, but, again, I have always been corrected on this by QA.
Would love to know what is the correct wording.
I have not run across the patient's measurements before and have no clue of the proper way to type them. tia.

I am one of those oldies, but goodies...higher education, BS university level, married to a professional as a young woman for many years. At the time of my divorce, I told many of my friends and family, "When the men get away with doing this to their wives ("First Wives" movies needed to condone it), the corporations will do the same to the men, and those same men will not be able to point any fingers because they did the same thing to their women," a labor issue, if you will, wh ...
My doctor is excising some tissue from a child's fingertip and goes along merrily talking in centimeters, then suddenly pulls a fast one and says:
ten one hundredths of an inch
Great. A Google search has just left me doubting myself completely. I found one reference that says "0.010 is ten thousandths (same as one hundredth)." So does this mean I need to type "0.10" (if that is really the correct numeral for this dimension), or should I just write it out as "ten ...

I find that if I wear shoes, I am inadvertantly pressing the rewind or FF bars on the foot pedal because the shoes are too wide. My feet get really sore pressing on the foot pedal with only socks on, though. Does anyone have any suggestions? ...
In answer to my original post to Val, only 2 issues here, Val:1. We are almost all woman. It is run like a system that once historically ran hospitals. We are not a Walmart, Kmart, Target, McDonalds. We are skilled workers, women for the most part, and from the old days, historically this has been a woman's role/job in a fraternity of higher powers, the men who once often had nuns as cohorts filling this postion for no pay at all.2. Although some individual hospitals may not care about thei ...
have nothing to do with difficulty, upload/download time, or any MT-related issues.
The majority of you STILL DON'T GET IT. 6.1. is an enhancement for back-end editing.
Back-end editing means more automatiion and need for fewer and fewer real live human MTs to do MQ work.
So great, jump on the bandwagon to eliminate your jobs. I'm relatively confident I'll be one of the last to be let go whether I upgrade to 6.1 now or a month from now or whenever.

It's 7 hours since being terminated and I have begun the dismantling of my office, sorting through e-files, papers, sticky notes, reminders, etc., gotta oil the shredder because it's gonna be working overtime (pun intended). After 26 years of working here in this room I have many emotions. I loved working at home for Secrephone and Medquist. MModal, however, is the worst, the worst management crew, no scruples, no morals, (just plain no brains), money-hungry execs loo ...

I am to the point where I despise hearing a woman dictate because she is usually even more unorganized than my male dictators (if that were possible, lol), at least that is how it is for me. The 1 that I am working on currently cannot make up her mind, is mushed mouth, once she makes up her mind she rattles it off so quickly that it is barely understandable, if at all at times and constantly goes back up into the report because she forgot something.
Just curious as to how every once ...
I'm doing an ortho consult and the patient has a history of long-standing flat feet and he uses (Alterdix?) for that. I'm thinking it has to be some kind of shoe or device. Not a medication because he says he is not taking any medication.
Also, just a side note - should it be a "long-standing history of flat feet" or is it correct the way it is "history of long-standing flat feet".
Thanks, ...
I am taking a test for a company and have gotten as far as taking the transcription portion. I downloaded their file (pedalplugin-win) but whenever I lift my foot off play, the tape rewinds to beginning. I cannot rewind or FF and autoplay to 0 isn't registering.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to?
Thanks!!!! I have 4 hours to complete test. ...
in how corporations do business. I think sold-out American workers like ourselves could make the same changes in how they think about offshoring.

Those of you who claim to make TONS OF MONEY TYPING.... You are not straight typing MTs under regular circumstances IF I believe you...and I don't.
You probably work 7 days a week, all hours of the day like most MTs. You DO NOT work a regular 8-hour day, 5 days a week and make that much money. If that were true...there would be much more competition. The only perk is being at home. Period...End of story. Stop trying to sell me your ocean front pro ...
