Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine.  It also depends on client preference.  It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other.  I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on.  I have to retrain my fingers.  I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.

Didn't you ever get this?
Subject: Didn't you ever get this?

The reason it didn't occur to people was that you didn't give enough information to let them know it was part of the physical exam, either HEENT or neuro exam. When clues are provided, people are happy to help. Otherwise it's a lot of effort on their part and none on the person asking the question.

Subject: She didn't

you must not have read her post, which states:

"I agree it looks weird, but "appropriate for gestational age" is a compound modifier for "infant." Weird or not, that's the way it is. My opinion, if the correct way looks too "weird" for you and you don't mind getting pinged by QA, then use no hyphens at all because "gestational- age" definitely should not be hyphenated."

Another option, if this is not a verbatim account, would be to re-cast the sentence.
