use of bilateral with pleural forms 
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms 
  That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable.  The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral.  Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities.  Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

 apparatuses or apparatus.  Have never seen a doc that didn't try to make up his own form of word from time to time either though...so if your account states strictly verbatim without the ability to correct grammar even when you know it's incorrect then I would type what he says.
