you want to get techical. Would you say bilateral amputation? I believe the singular would be used if it were stated this way: Mastectomy, bilateral or below-knee amputation, bilateral. Otherwise I think bilateral mastectomies and bilateral amputations etc.

Crohn's disease is the correct form
Subject: Crohn's disease is the correct form

Crohn's disease was named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, who first described the disease, and along with his colleagues published a paper about the disease.

AAMT has its own UNORTHODOX style of transcription. Transcribed reports should have the same style as the medical text books that MDs follow so that it would be easy on them if they can see a "familiar style" in the text of the reports. AAMT's style differs a lot from the style of the medical text books. No wonder that is causing a burden on the doctors that they have to even emphasize the style in their dictations.

bandpass sounds right; MT50 is correct.
Subject: bandpass sounds right; MT50 is correct.

I read your other post on this.

What he is dictating is the range of frequencies that they're testing within the entire bandwidth, and the intervals.

Sort of like, your car can go from 0-120 mph (bandwidth). We're looking at the gas mileage between 40-60 mph (bandpass), at 5 mph intervals.

Probably a bad analogy, but hopefully it helps. LOL

Unfortunately I cannot find a "rule" on this either, but if you change "bilateral" to "both" or "right and left" it does not change the meaning of the sentence but you would use the plural, tibias.

In the same way in your example, I believe it should be "examination of the hips, knees and ankles is normal bilaterally." (Consider if "bilateral" was before the word hips instead.)

Again, just my opinion -- tough question! Especially in a sentence fragment such as a diagnosis...

Isn't plexus both singular and plural? My doc keeps saying "brachial plexi" when he's talking about both arms, and I can't find that anywhere. Any help is appreciated.
