Subject: H&P heading help again.. Past Medical History

dictator says: Past medical history for hypertension. Past surgical history is arthroscopy of his right knee. Allergies are to Demerol and Penicillin. Do I put Headings over each one and keep the exact dictation like this:  PAST MEDICAL HISTORY (type under this title) Past medical history for hypertension OR just Hypertension. Other part of my question.  ROS subheadings: dictator says this: Cardiovascular has a history of hypertension.  do I need to put a colon in there and cap the Has? or leave as I have typed in bold? Do I add a subheading of GI/GU: for this sentence - No GI/GU problems. Does this sentence also need colon?  Musculoskeletal I stated in the HPI. No neurological or hematological discorders.  Thanks for any help, sorry if these seem like dumb questions...but I really need the help.

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms

That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.
