exactly what she is referring to before making the decision to transcribe bilateral.  She may mean bimalleolar (ankle) edema.  If that were the case, bilateral ankle edema is very different than bimalleolar edema, which would mean 1 foot versus 2.  If you can leave it blank and get a response back, that is the best idea.

Ladies, I am desparate.  Takes too long to here back from QKL, so I'm asking you.  ASR types suture material O chromic.  I have always just put 0 chromic in the past, but now know that zero is never to be type 0 by itself.  How does everybody else transcribe it?  Don't want to get dinged later for it.  Thanks in advance.
