Re: visual acuity - say dys-acuity?

[Guest guest]

... thank you!!! Yes, that is probably it. This doc always, without

fail, dictates " half " words. I've been transcribing this account for about

1-1/2 months now and just *starting* to really figure out, only through

repetition and conditioning, what she's sayin'! She is absolutely horrible.

My boss says she won't give *her* to anyone else. Well, I'm not exactly

sure if that's a compliment or not. I said, " Oh, go ahead ... PLEASE DO!!!

You won't hurt my feelings at all. " I can only hope ...........

Anyway, thanks very, very much! I betcha that's it.

I have been looking and I cannot find dys-acuity, but in the Medical Phrase

Index, I did find under visual, " decreased acuity " . Could it possibly be that?
