the rule is ....
Subject: the rule is ....
... x2 ....2 times
If the "times" comes before the number use the x (no space). If the "times" comes after use the word.

Subject: don't know if there is a rule but....
I think if you would substitute "bilateral" (mentally) and say "both" you might have a better idea how to say it. Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand" or "both hands." To me bilateral hands sounds better. But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule. I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.
I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either. Good luck!.

Subject: As a rule yes, but not always
I find way too many exceptions to that rule so I always look them all up the first time and add them to my ever-growing list. I wish there was a list out there somewhere with most of them already catagorized for us.

RULE OF THUMB
Subject: RULE OF THUMB
basic guideline is:
if you have a credible reference, spell it whichever way the reference spells it.
you should never be counted off for it, as long as the reference is credible. if you are, it is a valid challenge to assert.
