"as well as" usage
Subject: "as well as" usage

I have a dictator that constantly uses "as well as" in the following manner:
"The patient is treated for a variety of issues including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, LVH, as well as generalized risk factor modification."
Shouldn't there be an "and" before LVH to make "as well as" work in this sentence? I read that "as well as" does not mean "and" - any help?

could it be "as-needed" ??
Subject: could it be "as-needed" ??


"as well as" does not equal "and"
Subject: "as well as" does not equal "and"

i.e., the phrase isn't a conjunction and doesn't get treated the same way in a sentence. So your first choice is correct. I find that a lot of docs dictate w, x, y as well as z. I always change this to w, x and y as well as z.

Good catch.

Don't know about BOS, but leukocyte esterase is just a test for an enzyme that might indicate a uti...so in my experience, it's either a positive or negative result. If he gives you actual numbers or ranges (10-20), then he's talking about actual white blood cells (leukocytes).

At least that's my understanding.

Hope that helps!

If you cannot find it in the BOS, then chances are it does not matter.....unless the client profile specifically says not to abbreviate it should be OK.......

There is NO hyphen in followup. It is either one word or two words.

Verb is follow up. (The patient will follow up with me).

Noun is followup. (The patient will be seen in followup in 1 week).

Hope that helps! Never use a hyphen with followup.

a crescentic space about 12 cm wide, bounded medially by the left border of the sternum, above by an oblique line from the sixth costal cartilage to the lower border of the eighth or ninth rib in the midaxillary line and below by the costal margin; the percussion tone here is normally tympanitic, because of the underlying stomach, but is modified by pulmonary emphysema, a pleural effusion, or an enlarged spleen.
