don't know if there is a rule but....
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!.
