Looking at various hits on Google, it looks like the acid and the mofetil are 2 different things, so maybe a slash should go in there and it should be transcribed: mycophenolic acid/mofetil field? Would you all agree?

Subject: s/l mark-type pigmentation?
On the physical exam in the category of extremities, the doctor says "The patient has bilateral chronic stasis changes in the lower extremities. There is associated [s/l mark-type profigmentation] with no edema, erythema or warmth"
I'm assuming the "profigmentation" is maybe pigmentation that he just stumbled on but I'm not positive on that. The patient was being seen for bilateral lower extremity recurrent cellulitis.
Any ideas?

Using a question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty sm
BOS says:
Use an ending question mark to indicate doubt or uncertainty.
Sometimes, particularly with diagnoses, a question mark is placed before a
statement in order to indicate uncertainty.
Placement either before or after the questionable material is acceptable, but
do not place the question mark both before and after.
Ex:
His cholesterol levels were high normal (or minimally elevated?).
D: Diagnosis: Angina question mark
T: Diagnosis: Angina?
or Diagnosis: ?Angina.
not Diagnosis: ?Angina?
Note: There is no space after the question mark in ?Angina.

Subject: In the Sanders Pharmaceutical Drug Book 2008 it shows Benicar HCT, no slash
HCT is hydrochlorothiazide and when together, Benicar HCT means hydrocholorthiazide. It should not have to be spelled out and cannot be mistaken for hydrocortisone because there is no such thing as Benicar hydrocortisone. I would leave as is as your QA and others have stated. Hopefully this clears it up.
