pain-free. I use a hyphen

Posted By: Ms' ippi on 2006-01-21
In Reply to: how do you type pain free? one or two words? - My spellchecker wants it in 2???

Subject: pain-free. I use a hyphen

as in the sentence:

The patient is pain-free.

(compound modifier/noun-adjective compound) Please check BOS -- I could be incorrect.

I cannot find any just free T lab studies to be performed, and I am thinking he is leaving out the number after the T.  I could be wrong though, so if anyone knows of there is a lab test of just a free T please post back and let me know.


 


Thanks so much in advance.

    Subject: He's free to try to say whatever he wants. sm

    He can say whatever he wants to in court. It may sound harsh, but that's really not your problem. If you accept a contract to do a verbatim account, then that's what you do - a verbatim account. I'm not here to argue the point with you of whether verbatim accounts are a good idea or not, or whether the insurance company, lawyers, or the man in the moon will like it. I gave the correct answer to the OP. A verbatim account is just that - verbatim. If that's what the client wants, that's what the client gets.
