Do you use a comma in the following sentence?


She says that sometimes she sees a shadow walking by, and that this is a new symptom for her. 


 


I know you use a comma if the word "that" is not in there, but what if it is?

I think it's just orifices, unless using proper Latin names, then it may be orificia?

Here's the link to Dorlands, scroll down to orifice and all the rest. Hopefully you can decipher it!

Subject: don't know if there is a rule but....

 


I think if you would substitute "bilateral"  (mentally)  and say  "both" you might have a better idea how to say it.   Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand"  or "both hands."   To me bilateral hands sounds better.  But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule.  I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.   


I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either.  Good luck!.

RULE OF THUMB

basic guideline is:
if you have a credible reference, spell it whichever way the reference spells it.
you should never be counted off for it, as long as the reference is credible. if you are, it is a valid challenge to assert.
