Subject: sub-1st metatarsal. good question!

Doc means below the 1st metatarsal bone, so you have to put the "sub" at the very beginning of the whole thing (not 1st submetatarsal).

Use a hyphen, sub-1st, because sub- is a prefix not a word.

cc.  I have the latest BOS and BOS workbook and I'm still confused. 


My account has a few doctors whose work is automatically sent to QA.  I thought we were no longer supposed to use cc and change it to mL.  I had  marked as error when I changed doctor stated cc to mL.  I then asked one of the mentors on my account and she stated mL is used for what goes into the patient, IV, blood products, etc., and cc is used for what comes out of the patient, urine etc. 


Is there any consensus on this?  I trust all of you here.
