Meaning of "at that time of acutally given antibiotic"

[Dr. R. Saroj]

i heard this sentence may be mistaken:

"at that time of acutally given antibiotic"

[Jamie (K)]

It's not a sentence. We need more context to determine whether it's wrong or not (other than the misspelling of "actually").

[Dr. R. Saroj]

Thanks Jamie,

You are right. I confirmed again and find it as "at that time it was acutally given antibiotic"

Maybe Dr R. S. meant 'acutely given antibiotic'? I'm not sure what that means, though.

Hi Doc

I agree with Conchita. The word 'acutely' (or 'acute') is a word that is frequently used in medical contexts and I suppose medicine could be given in an 'acute' manner. Can you check the spelling again? Did the person really write 'actually'? Or is it 'acutely'?

It would be easier to say more about your sentence if you gave us more context -- for example, one or more of the sentences that were written before the sentence you posted.

Hi,

Are we making a mountain out of a molehill? Someone says this and someone says that. We could be here until doomsday before we know what was ACTUALLY said. We live in a world where someone says something and it is recorded on tape and then we all hear it. The next moment the speaker says he didn't say that or if he did, he didn't mean it. I'm talking about a political leader here of course. So how on earth can we decipher what our venerated doctor says he thinks he heard when he qualifies that by admitting he may be mistaken? I mean in all honesty - lets all get a life.

Conchita, people can learn to read much of the illegible handwriting not only of doctors, but of many adult Europeans.

In the case we've been presented with, the problem posed was not one of bad handwriting, but of uninterpretable syntax. This has the potential for a lot more damage.

Looks like Alan woke up on the grumpy side today, eh?

I'm thinking that the author suffered a momentary fit of dyslexia in typing "acutally"

if we simpy switch the "u" and the "t" I bet we have our intended word: actually

which yields:

at that time of actually given antibiotic

To me, the most likely possibility is along these lines:

...at the time of actually being given the antibiotic.

It's nearly impossible to know what the author meant with this fragment. I defer to Alan's previous post.

Are we going to be kept in the dark forever about this Chinese puzzle? I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight without knowing how the original sentence reads!

Thanks friends for your response. I do this post to know does any phrase exist " of actually" as i find this in a letter and i thinks i should improve my grammar
