Subject: Social history

I forget the proper transcription for this regarding numbers--


Occasional tobacco use, 1-2 half-packs per day.


Should 1-2 be spelled out and is half-pack hyphenated? Thanks a lot!

Social Security is a proper name and is always capitalized as such, but disability is not part of an official program name. The other proper name associated with SS is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is the proper name of a program administered by Social Security. (Don't ya just love government stuff?) ;)

Subject: surgical history s/l all-tee

Patient is being seen for balance problems. There is a lot of focus in the report on various tests and her previous tethered cord, lumbar stenosis, laminectomy, etc.

Past surgical history includes: "repair of a spinal fluid leak and (s/l all-tee) then the lumbar spine fusion."

Any ideas as to what the all-tee might be? At first I thought it was the doctor stumbling over her words, but upon re-listening, I'm not so sure!
