Please excuse the extra words in my post, the antihyperglycemic and Amaryl. I did not type those words, and I can't understand how I "messed up" such that they ended up in my answer. (??)

However, because "dumb" is the non-politically-correct term for whatever is the de riguer expression for "mute" nowadays, I suspect doc does intend that meaning.

How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?
For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ˝+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ˝+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?
Thanks.

plantar flexion
Subject: plantar flexion
Okay - maybe this is a stupid question, but dorsiflexion is a word - I looked it up in Dorland's (but I have an older version). But, plantarflexion seems not to be a word; I thought it was - modeling it after dorsiflexion. So, is plantarflexion a real word or is it just plantar flexion?
