sclerae
Subject: sclerae

''Sclerae'' is plural (I'm trying to think of an example of the -ae ending we use everyday to help you remember, but all I'm coming up with is ''antennae'' and most people say ''antennas'' so that doesn't help...). Luckily, most things to do with the sclerae involve both eyes, so you should be safe almost always using the plural (man, I have now spelled that twice as ''pleural''!) unless the doctor specifically mentions just one eye.

Subject: I am sure sclerae and scabies do not sounsd alike, but she said the doc said skin, so I took a guess.

You are right with the sclerae. That is what I first thought to, but when I saw the skin, I was not sure, so I had to ask to clarify.
Thanks for checking on that. I appreciate it.

Heading?
Subject: Heading?

This is for a psych. consult.  After saying "New paragraph", he says "Review of past medical records." and then launches into: Doctor diagnosed tachycardia..etc.


I haven't seen a consult. with a heading, main or sub, with Review of Past Medical Records.  Past Medical History, yes, but not the other.  Any ideas?
