Subject: Actos for swelling of feet?

Decrease Metformin to once a day.  Will probably reduce Actos to 30 mg a day to decrease the swelling of his feet. 


It sounded right but is Actos going to help swelling of the feet?  He said throughout the report he had swelling of the tongue.  He has type 2 diabetes and sugar levels are running low.  Just checking another opinion.

to me...it would sound better if it was *there ARE cerumen impactions bilaterally which are removed.* Since bilateral already denotes plural, I, personally would use the plural form. JMO.

Subject: i mean, if bilateral is before is it singular and sm

how do you hand bilaterally.  I am very confused on the singular and plural regarding these because doctors say it both ways. 


For example, examination of the hip, knee, and ankle is normal bilaterally...singular.


So, is it always singular when you use these words? or an equivalent (left and right lower extremity or extremities, etc)


I have been doing this for 3 months but this seems to keep coming up and i am hearing it dictated both ways.  Thanks ahead of time for any help :)

Subject: Bilateral mastectomy

Only one mastectomy is being performed each on the right and left side. The same thing for bilateral tubal ligation, you would not put bilateral tubal ligations. If a person had four breasts and two were being removed from each side, then it would be bilateral mastectomies!
bilateral eyes
Subject: bilateral eyes

Okay, doc keeps correcting me when I correct his dictation, stating bilateral knees, bilateral breasts, etc. to bilateral knee, bilateral breast - am I wrong?  It seems redundant his way.  He said today bilateral eyes but it seems to type bilateral eye is just weird.  Would you type just eyes or bilateral eye or bilateral eyes?  Thanks,
