weight bear - vegasgirl

Posted: Oct 12, 2010

Is it weight bear or weightbear - one or two words? My spell check says two words by QA says one. What I found on my own that it actually should be bear weight. Now I'm really confused. TIA for any opinions.

Been typing orthopaedics for 15+ years, always done it as one word.

using platforms that use other expander programs. I used to work for a company that had the expander as part of the program. I have never used Shorthand, Instant Text, etc. I have never had to use Word either. Now I am going to be switching to BeyondTx. Does this have an expander included, or do I have to incorporate an expander into it, or what? :). Obviously, this is not too hard to do, as many of you seem very familiar with all of it.

I just have to vent - bear with me. We make 100,000 corrections on this ASR and I get in trouble for the one mistake I made. I understand I made a mistake and I own up to it, but it irritates the crap out of me when doctors dictate mistakes. And stupid ones at that! I mean what about the one I fixed for the doctor (maybe I shouldn't have) who dictated that an elderly patient use a Cepacol SUPPOSITORY for their sore throat? I can't speak for anybody else, but there's ...

I don't get this whole weight thing. There are 16 ounces in a pound. How do you transcribe 124 and 3/4 pounds? When the doc said 212 and a half pounds, I put 212.8 lbs because there are 16 ounces in a pound and half of that would be 8 ounces, but it was changed to 212.5 lbs, which to me says 212 pounds 5 ounces. So, how would you type 124 and 3/4 pounds? TIA! ...
