for a straight consult rep and not real letter
Posted By: I do Dear Dr. and then I continue....SM on 2008-01-02
In Reply to: I know this has been asked before, but - Letter
Subject: for a straight consult rep and not real letter
but it DOES depend on the client profile/preference like the other poster said.....I get this format all the time in REAL consult reports (not letters) and I just type *Dear Dr. Smith* - I have just seen your patient....blah blah (can usually go under reason for consult or HPI) and then do my headings as dictated.
Good question, though!

neuro- is a combining form referring to a system of an anatomical part, be it the entire body or the system of specific an anatomical part,
neural -- Relating to any structure composed of nerve cells or their processes, or that on further development will evolve into nerve cells
Since the foramen (foramina-pl) is a specific structure, the combining form would be incorrect.
