The only two acceptable forms now are follow up, a verb (The patient will follow up in 2 weeks), and followup for either a noun or an adjective (On followup, the patient's incision was healing nicely) (He had a followup exam). Clear?

The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

I just got a note from QA telling me that fractions are not hyphenated. Should be 1 1/2 and not 1-1/2. This just does not even look right to me! Have I been doing this wrong for the past 12 years?
