I have recommended that she have a cardiac rehabilitation program as she 1) is afraid to exercise, 2) does not how much to exercise, and 3) does not do much exercise now.
Is this the proper way to write this sentence with the numbered list? Do I capitalize the first word after each number? TIA

How do you write pH at the beginning of a sentence?
Subject: How do you write pH at the beginning of a sentence?
I have a doctor who says, "pH is within normal limits." I've been adding the word "the" before pH just because I don't know if it's supposed to be capitalized or not at the start of a sentence. Yeah, I know, he's not being gramatically correct, but verbatim, you know.
Thanks!

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Talent endovascular graft with a "36 20 155" left main body and a "14 20 90 right limb with a P 50 10" Palmaz stent placed across the aortic seal zone.
Not sure how to type the number sequences:
He dictates "36 20 155" and
"14 20 90" right limb with a "P 50 10"
I have no idea if he means 36 x 20 x 155 or what!

Next, a Bard 20-cm, 6-French, double-pigtail ureteral stent was passed over the wire and up into the right kidney.
Are my hyphens correct? Do I really need that many hyphens? My QA has been pinging me on hyphens even sent me a photocopied excerpt from the BOS "for my information."
Ugh!

Primer on Radiation Measurement
In the aftermath of a radiological emergency the public will see radiation and its potential hazards described in many different and sometimes confusing ways. This primer is intended to help journalists and community leaders understand these terms.
Activity or radioactivity is measured by the number of atoms disintegrating per unit time. A becquerel is 1 disintegration per second. A curie is 37 billion disintegrations per second, which is the number of disintegrations per second in 1 gram of pure radium. A disintegrating atom can emit a beta particle, an alpha particle, a gamma ray, or some combination of all these, so becquerels or curies alone do not provide enough information to assess the risk to a person from a radioactive source.
Disintegrating atoms emit different forms of radiation–—alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or x-rays. As radiation moves through the body, it dislodges electrons from atoms, disrupting molecules. Each time this happens, the radiation loses some energy until it escapes from the body or disappears. The energy deposited indicates the number of molecules disrupted. The energy the radiation deposits in tissue is called the dose, or more correctly, the absorbed dose. The units of measure for absorbed dose are the gray (1 joule per kilogram of tissue) or the rad (1/100 of a gray). The cumulative dose is the total absorbed dose or energy deposited by the body or a region of the body from repeated or prolonged exposures.
Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and x-rays affect tissue in different ways. Alpha particles disrupt more molecules in a shorter distance than gamma rays. A measure of the biologic risk of the energy deposited is the dose equivalent. The units of dose equivalent are sieverts or rem. Dose equivalent is calculated by multiplying the absorbed dose by a quality factor.
Sometimes a large number of people have been exposed to a source of ionizing radiation. To assess the potential health effects, scientists often multiply the exposure per person by the number of persons and call this the collective dose. Collective dose is expressed as “person-rem” or “person-sieverts.”

This just isn't sitting right with me, and I think the doctor's old service (his nurse) has been doing this wrong for awhile now. I just took over this account and have been reviewing and comparing old notes with current dictation.
"The patient was injected with "a quarter percent" Marcaine and morphine."
She was typing this as 25% - It should be 0.25% shouldn't it. I'm so tired right now I need to go to sleep, but have to turn this job in first. Thanks for helping. ME
Thanks so much! Will write it in my book. nm

how to write "..well-corticated..."
Subject: how to write "..well-corticated..."
Just a general question: It seems a significant percentage of radiologists will use the term "well corticated" to describe an accessory ossicle or perhaps old trauma to differentiate what may appear to be an acute fracture. Since "corticated" is not an actual word, can anyone help with an appropriate way to rephrase this? eg "At the distal tip of the fibula is a well-corticated bony lesion, likely an accessory ossicle or old trauma and not an acute fracture."
maybe "lesion with good cortical margins" or some such, but wondering if there are other suggestions.
Thanks.

PPD is a test for tuberculosis. You aren't just writing a document to appease the doctor. You are writing a legal document that many other people may want to read, including an insurance auditor or a lawyer, neither of which may have any clue what PPD means EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SENTENCE and will have no inclination to look it up.
That's just me, someone who audits physician records and slaps them on the wrists for this like this, but you do want you want.
