Patient's new look: Feedback

Just checking the above, and yes it is American English,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,color.............colour.  And to add insult to injury the red suiqqly line is under colour.

Have we become the latest state!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops    Squiggly  - missed it.................

edit button and I would have been able to add  'control' after 'glare.............ah well.

It sounds like your browser or computer's language settings are set to American English. If you tell me which browser you use I can direct you to instructions for setting the correct language.

I repeatedly put settings to UK spelling as default - and the next time I look - back to US. I ignore it. 

But this too is fluff - you are ignoring the basic complaints made by several of us. Using this forum has, for me, become quite an unpleasant experience. It is uncomfortably bright and garish and is clunky to use - unless you have fantastic internet speeds I suspect. Given the services in the UK that seems rather silly. Members of the forum who are obviously experts on such matters have explained to you where they see the problems. You have ignored us. However, we are, after all, the clients.

Good luck finding a "Medical Dictionary", lodgerUK NE!!!

Now, that would be a "task" in itself... You only have to look at the BMJ to see the extent it would need to go.

The trouble these days is there are many very rare syndromes or conditions, and each one can have several types.

Me, being "old school" never used to think "writer's cramp" was an actual health matter, that could lead to many other issues. Perhaps if I knew then, what the medical condition really was, then things may have been different over the decades, well I can dream.

"Writer's Cramp" is medically known as "Hand Dystonia" - which I have had for years. Strange has it may sound the word "Dystonia" is not being picked up by Firefox as incorrectly spelt, unless at some point I have "Added it to Dictionary".

The only misspelling in this post is the use of your username and BMJ ( The alternative was BMX! ), which is obvious!

As for Avatars, well mine is a cartoon image I created - many websites use my main avatar, which is totally different to what I use on here

I assume you received my email from a couple of weeks ago now?

Regards,

It took me ages to work out what GCA was, so I christened it 'Giant thingy' and then 'Poly whotsit'

that took me back many moons to when I had a letter from a consultant who wrote:  'you have teno-synovitis', I was puzzled and tried to find out what it meant............I gave up and just had the plaster on my wrist for 6 weeks............I still stumble over medical stuff - I think they did it deliberately just to make us commoners think they were a profession of  called GOD.

Yes I did  and just  have odd spare 20 mins in between looking after my 88 year old Cousin, whose dementia has just taken a down and I crocked my knee, those ten ton trucks come along quite fast as you age ..........but I am interested and was pleased to see your mail asap and thank you.

 

My old doctor, whom I miss more and more, used to tell us the medical term with a twinkle in his eye and then, without our having to ask, gaveus in laymen's terms exactly what we had.

Lodger if you copy the word you want explaining & then right click it, does it not give you the option to 'search'?  It then opens in a new window & depending on the search engine you use, you will get a selection of answers

And, fluff or not, I have an avatar so that I can see where I am on a page!  Also useful if I am following what certain people are writing should the urge come over me.

The browser I use, is Opera  & I don't seem to have the problems that some of you experience, now that the initial glare has been removed 

I hope not you would lose your health insurance! God help you!

Were you aiming that comment at lodgerUK Mich? In the UK the only thing that makes us lose our health insurance is death!   After which, arguably, we don't need it any more 

I had an old doctor who was a surgeon, or as he put high price Carpenter!

Someone asked if you were becoming another state because of the American spell check. So I replied that I hope not you would lose health insurance.

We are in real mess over here after the Charlottesville affair!

Ah - all is clear, know the comment you meant now!!! 

Yes, it is making for some interesting articles in the UK papers! Some little toerag (not so little given the position of the offending article) has drawn a swastika next to the lift (elevator) in the cellar. Given the history of the local area it seems some extra history lessons might be a useful addition to their education.

The situation was bad, but the last statement from the president has empowered the alt right. His councils of business leaders we're bailing out on him so he dissolved them! The heads of the military have each come out against the alt right, some were carrying Nazis flags. It is a mess! And we got the North Korean situation! Not good times!
