established patient who is s/l 25 and 5 7ths weeks of gestational age sm
Subject: established patient who is s/l 25 and 5 7ths weeks of gestational age sm

The patient is not 25 years old but she dictates these numbers and I am unsure how to type it for it to make sense.  It sounds like she is saying, "patient is 25 and 5/7 weeks gestational age.  Do they dictate gestational age by the 7ths for days of the week?  Would you type it 25-5/7 week gestational age?
The patient s/l dinatine with 50% weightbearing status for six weeks. I thought maybe *sm*
Subject: The patient s/l dinatine with 50% weightbearing status for six weeks. I thought maybe *sm*

Subject: followup vs follow up - sm please

Is there an easy way/helpful hint to remember the difference between these?
TIA!
Followup or follow up
Is knowing the difference between followup and follow up really a huge deal?  I can never get them straight and QA is always nagging about it. 
followup or follow up
Subject: followup or follow up

The rule most places I've seen in followup for a noun and follow up or follow-up for a verb.  Any official rules floating around out there?  I work for 2 different companies and the editors do it different at each.
help with followup follow up
Subject: help with followup follow up

Found this on another MT board and thought it was EXTREMELY helpful as even as QA I still get confused!


 


I know "follow up" is a verb and "followup" is a noun/adjective but am still having some trouble.  A suggestion is to place a different noun or verb in its place. For example, use eat. He will followup/follow up next week. If you place "eat" in the sentence, "He will eat next week." you know it is a verb because the sentence still makes sense.


followup, follow up
Subject: followup, follow up

I believe it was in Vera Pyle I learned years ago that followup (one word) is a noun, and follow up is an action, a verb. That's how I always remember it.
I know that, but followup or follow-up
Subject: I know that, but followup or follow-up

I'm trying to figure out whether it is "followup" or "follow-up"

Is there any occasion for use of the hypen with the word followup, follow up?  It seems to me the use of the hyphen is gone but just curious.
Followup/follow-up/follow up. SM
Subject: Followup/follow-up/follow up. SM

A doctor can follow up with a patient during a follow-up visit (note that the adjectival form requires a hyphen). Neither phrase should be turned into a single hyphenless word.


follow up v follow-up v followup
Subject: follow up v follow-up v followup

If you can use the word "the" directly in front of the words "follow up", then it needs to be one word. That is the "official" note from my QA. Have a great day.
Follow up:followup: follow-up
Subject: Follow up:followup: follow-up

Ok,, been at this for years,, I think i have it finally and then a QA will correct followup, follow up, or follow-up.  I have read and reread the explanation in all the books.. I am looking for someone to "splain to me in english Lucy".  I know will follow up is correct,, he has a follow-up appointment, but I seem to get messed up with followup versus follow up. I know the verb and none definition but it does not soak in... HELP


 


Followup or follow up??? That is the question!
Would somebody please tell me in simple terms how to know which one is the correct one to use!  I am going nuts here....Many thanks!
