K  -- when the doc dicates the patient is a 1-year-old though 10-year-old should the ages be typed out or Arabic numerals?  I believe BOS says the above -- however QA for the new company says "typed out"   --- grrr

thanks

for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back

just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel

i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated....

since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....

thanks!

I also do plastic/reconstructive surgery reports and am wondering about these words as well, i.e. if okay combined or not:

back lift    arm lift    thigh lift   neck lift   

I know that browlift is okay

thank you

...I hear ya!  Was one of those days for me, too...grrrr!  Had a report today where the doc said pulse ox....all I could hear was something like PSACS...it finally hit me & I felt like such a nincompoop

Anyway, glad I could help.  Hang in there
