Mine still reads as I quoted above, and I see no questions and answers, only examples. Still says follow-up is an acceptable alternative. Also, account preference trumps BOS, and I have accounts for which the expectation is follow-up.

We would have to obtain new x-rays and obtain from St. Vincent's Charity Hospital his s/l sticker page? to find out exactly what this is.
I found one reference that would support this, but I just wanted to check to see if anyone knew for sure before I sent the report.

stats page ?
Subject: stats page ?
Maybe I'm senile or something, but until the new PP began, I would look up stats as "current month," which worked fine. Now when I try to enter the last 2-3 days, I always end up adjusting one of the dates. Even more frustrating is selecting "16th to end of month," and it brings up November!
I could swear that sometime in the past I figured this out. It's petty but annoying.
Thanks!

and if you read the entire page and look for her name - there are about a half dozen of her or his questions, if not more, where people help her or him and never once get a THANK YOU......
Do you really think I want to help her/him? Nope. I won't help the ungracious, the ones with lack of manners. I won't waste my time.
And I know what you say about the admin/moderators here - they are THE BEST!!! It's just that we probably are on here more often than they might be available to.
So, we become the eyes/ears, etc., like helpers 
HAVE A GREAT weekend!!!

under needle there is BD spinal and right under that is Beath and a little further down is Beeth.
I understand for verying and yes, it is confusing when you see it spelled 2 different ways, but I do type Ortho reports on a daily basis and I have been told Beath. Also when I Google Beath needle there is a section under Shoulder Arthroscopy, books.google.com and the article is highlighting Beath pin and then Beath needle is there. This might help for verification.
