cannot find anything in stedman's gyn book, spellchecker, no web site on google shows it as a MEDICAL word, so always good to learn something new.

K -- when the doc dicates the patient is a 1-year-old though 10-year-old should the ages be typed out or Arabic numerals? I believe BOS says the above -- however QA for the new company says "typed out" --- grrr

thanks

for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back

just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel

i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated....

since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....

thanks!

if you have it, pages 46-47. I've had accounts that didn't want departments, etc. capitalized no matter how they were used, all lower case, so definitely account preference as people said below. I prefer to capitalize when referred to as an entity, such as you said or as in BOS, patient was referred to Anesthesia for evaluation... I really dislike typing, the patient was seen by nutrition or wound care or speech, etc. but if verbatim and that's the way they want it, that's what the account gets.

Thank you for the reference! :) nm
