To hyphenate or not to hyphenate nonallergic
Subject: To hyphenate or not to hyphenate nonallergic
I have found it both ways, can someone please clarify it for me. Is it non-allergic or nonallergic? Same with nonproductive or non-productive?
To hyphenate or not hyphenate mid, that is the question
Subject: To hyphenate or not hyphenate mid, that is the question
Ok I know the BOS says most mid use has been combined with the following word, thus no separation by space or hyphen, but sometimes it just doesn't look right. So, what do you think about
mid portion "occlusion of shunt in its mid portion."
mid July --midJuly doesn't look right, so is it mid-July or mid July?
What do you think?

Review of the peripheral blood smear revealed s/l somonice on poikocytosis with lymphocytes and acanthocytes in some teardrop forms.
Can anyone decipher this dictation for me.
Thanks

Subject: HEME
Could this be "dominance of poikilocytes"? Poikilocytes = abnormally-shaped erythrocytes but the lymhpocytes and acanthocytes may also present a tear-drop shape. What are the differential diangoses?

The hospital I have worked at for 15 years says no. So we don't hyphenate heme positive. Don't know what the BOS says though, we don't really use it.

Any idea what MSP could stand for here? This is on an ortho patient with Alzheimers, anemia, and diarrhea. She recently had a total shoulder. Doc is ordering CBC, what sounds like "MSP," and stool.
