But there is an update on this sm
Subject: But there is an update on this sm

The update is this:

Follow up (2 words) is the verb usage. The pt will follow up in the office next week.

Followup (1 word) as in The pt is here for followup.

Follow-up is when it proceeds a noun, like the compound modifier rule. The pt is here for her follow-up appointment.

It was news to me yesterday, but there it is.

There have been a couple of AAMT BOS2 addendums. They want to do away with q.d. and q.4h. now has to have a space after the q. so it is q. 4h. Pain in the neck all of this...

I flagged this for QA, and they filled in multiple prostatic cystica.
Update on motalakian..
Subject: Update on motalakian..

I found these on further searches:

Tangent screen exam
Automated perimetry exam
Goldmann visual field exam
Humphrey visual field exam

This is not an ESL dictator but I just bet "tularakian" and "motalakian" are some forms of the above visual field testing names that he has said so often that he just runs it all together. The dictation is gone now but I've bookmarked the above, maybe they will help someone else who gets this same strange-sounding garble. Thanks!

The patient will be seen for followup in a week.



Followup one week.



The patient came in for follow up of her acne. (I believe this can be hyphenated to follow-up.) 



The patient will be seen for followup care in a month. (This, too, some MTs hyphenate to follow-up but I do not.)



The BOS has this very issue - Book of Style by the AAMT 2nd edition  - discussed in it.

We learn every day -- don't be afraid to ask your QA why? ..see msg
Subject: We learn every day -- don't be afraid to ask your QA why? ..see msg

I'v been doing this for quite a few years, and last night had a report where I heard "Shoreman kyphosis," researched and found quite a few websites spelled this way, didn't really check to see source of websites, just that there were a LOT of them. (slap me with a wet noodle, I was tired and brain-dead because I know better)

Anyway, QA send me an email this morning with correct spelling, "Scheuermann kyphosis." citing Dorlands online.

You can bet I created a shorthand entry for that spelling immediately, and of course, sent of an email to my QA person letting her know how much I appreciated the feedback -- I never have questioned my research without the feedback!

Have a great day.
