in this case, so will use followup. On this particular account, they don't like follow up hyphenated, so we have to use followup or follow up. Sometimes at the end of the day this gets very confusing to me and I can't think anymore. Thanks for your help!

type protime, even when they dictate it. Set your expander to expand protime to prothrombin time because that is truly the correct way to type this on a medical report. That way when they undergo audit it will not come back to transcription who didn't type it with HIPAA correctness. I wish they would educate doctors to dictate things correctly in the first place to avoid all this, but I think even if they did the dictator would still dictate things the way he "thinks" in his head. It is hard to teach old dogs new tricks unless they are transcriptionists. If we don't learn new tricks they will replace us, right?

it's an adjective. So it doesn't have a plural form.
In terms of pleural vs plural, it's easy for an MT to make this mistake. Like, the abdominal snowman...It's an occupational hazard.
