From page 324 of BOS 2nd Edition:
range
Use the word to (not a hyphen) to indicate a range when the plus sign is used.
Reflexes 2+/4 to 3+/4 in the right lower extremity and 4+/4 on the left.
See range
From pages 347 and 348 of the BOS 2nd Edition:
range
Use numerals. It is acceptable to use a hyphen between the limits of a range if the
following five conditions are met.
1. The phrases “from...to,” “from...through,” “between...and” are not used.
2. Decimals and/or commas do not appear in the numeric values.
3. Neither value contains four or more digits.
4. Neither value is a negative.
5. Neither value is accompanied by a symbol.
When all five conditions are met, a hyphen may be used. (To may be used
instead, even when the conditions are met.)

wording) in place of a hyphen.

reflexes 2+/4 to 3+/4

as to what a doctor MAY be dictating. Doctors make mistakes all the time. It is up to the individual MT to check out the validity of any info they ultimately transcribe. That's what I would do. Any MT who transcribes a "suggestion" should not be working as an MT. ;-)

Doctor is describing a patient's finger pain. He says:
"At her last visit she did have a maintenance interscalene block and reported several months of improvement in pain to a level of 3/10 when used in combination with her other conservative therapies. These have included Lac-Hydrin applications, paraffin wax applications, and (s/l "co-bayne") and protective (s/l "cutlets") to the left ring finger. The patient has dystonia and extreme difficulty in bending at the PIP joint from a functional standpoint. Numeric pain score is an 8/10..."
First word sounds like Cobain or Cobayne, pronounced just like the last name of the late lead singer of Nirvana. Second word sounds just like cutlets, like veal cutlets.
I have no idea at all what these two words are, and he repeats them in both the subjective and in the assessment. Can anyone save me from leaving four blanks? I'm sick and exhausted with a sick four year old at home, and I'm feeling a bit fussy and frustrated and would be SO thankful for the help.
Thanks!
