callous between her right 1st and 2nd toe
Is it callous or callus and plural calluses? Does anyone have a good description? I always thought it was a sore on the foot, but the dictionary has it as a mass of tissue that forms at a fracture sight. There is no mention of a fracture and it is located between toes. Help please!!!!

I thought I understood when to use which until now. I have an company telling me that the proper use is "callus formation". In 5+ years, this has never been an issue and I thought it was a part of "transcription 101" so to speak. Any clarification would be helpful.

The expression is "I'm at a loss" not "lost." And it should read "Mother deceased at age 71" not "decease." These just might be typos as you're probably in a hurry, but I wanted to be sure you were aware just in case.

The dictator in your example is not giving a specific clinic; the word "a" or "the" is understood.
You will often hear "The patient was seen by Oncology," or "...when Cardiology evaluated the patient." A good rule of thumb is: If you can substitute "Bob," then you DO capitalize. "The patient was seen by Bob." Yes. "The patient was seen by the cardiology service," -- "The patient was seen by the Bob..." No. Get it?
Of course, in MT every rule was made to be broken. This is a rule of thumb, but it always depends on what your hospital's or clinic's guidelines.

When I got to the exam, she only weighs 111 lbs, so that makes me even more concerned that he just got lazy and just said "5" because he definitely didn't say 0.5 or even .5, it was just 5. I hesitate on questioning things that could be borderline, I always worry about them getting huffy if I dare to suggest they might have said something wrong, especially if what they said was what they meant, but then I think, I work at home in another state and wouldn't know him from a hole in the ground, what's he going to do, come to my house?!?!?
