Rule of thumb for followup/follow up
A good rule of thumb I was taught in training for followup/follow up is if you can put "a" or "the" in front of followup, it is the noun form; otherwise it is the verb form. Ex.
...a/the followup appointment.
...a/the followup x-ray.
...will follow up. (You can't put "a" or "the" in front of follow up, it won't work.)
Anyway, just thought I would share something that has helped me tremendously as a newbie.
