Another "it depends" . . .
Subject: Another "it depends" . . .
It's my understanding that if you are referring, as in your example, to a specific department at a specific hospital, yes; otherwise, no.
A common mistake, for example:
He went to the Emergency Room at University Hospital.
versus
He was seen in the emergency room for this problem once in 2006. (You don't know which exact emergency room at which exact hospital.)
A weird "irregular," just for fun(?):
Vocational Rehabilitation is an actual government agency.
Arrgh!

Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
Subject: Pack-a-day smoker versus pack-per-day smoker.
It would be either "He is a two-pack-a-day smoker" or "He is a two-pack-per-day smoker.
If doc dictates "a" use that; if "per" go with that. That's what I do anyway. It makes life simpler that way. :)

palliative cells
Subject: palliative cells
Wasn't sure which board to put this on. I have 20-some years exp in onc, can usually Google to find new terms/meds etc, rarely have to leave blanks. One particular dictator (not a doc, a PA-C who is not only a mushmouth but also mispronounces everything) today stated that the pathology showed something-cells suspicious for carcinoma. It really sounded like he was saying "palliative" cells, but of course that doesn't make sense. I tried to make it into "palisading" cells but no, it definitely ended with "ive" not "ing" so I sent it to QA. I went back in the report later in the day and sure enough, QA had filled it in with "palliative" cells suspicious for carcinoma. What would you do? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't make sense at all to me. Even though it did sound like "palliative" cells, I really think he meant something else but was mispronouncing it. Any input?

pack years
Subject: pack years
Personally, I would not hyphenate that he smoked for 120 packs years as you state it, as there is no adjective describing a noun. On the other hand, I would hyphenate if he has a 120-pack-year history of smoking, because that is a triple adjective describing a noun.
