Re: word help please

I know, but actually she is a very good doctor and very caring. She does
geriatrics mostly. I wondered, though, if she were writing the
prescriptions correctly? She is a wonderful dictator, but does mispronounce
(very clearly!!!) at times. I tagged it. Since we had that issue over the
clonidine/Klor-Con, though, she has been much more respectful of my
knowledge and has thanked me a couple of times for bringing things to her
attention, which is refreshing. My ortho depends on me to get his drugs
right--he is very knowledgeable about the ones he prescribes, but can really
foul things up for those outside his realm of expertise, and he knows I know
my drugs pretty well.
