I have a format question. Not sure how to punctuate this sentence. This is listed under "Laboratory Data"
Cardiac enzymes CPK were high, but his MBs were normal.
Would it be correct like it is, or would it be "Cardiac enzymes: CPKs were high, but his MBs were normal."
I also don't know if I should edit CPK to CPKs or leave it as is.

thanks, that's how I had it but wasn't sure. And wasn't sure about editing to CPKs or leaving it as CPK (without the "s"). Thanks again.

I think if you would substitute "bilateral" (mentally) and say "both" you might have a better idea how to say it. Like would it sound better iff you said "both hand" or "both hands." To me bilateral hands sounds better. But again, I don't know if there is actually a rule. I looked for an answer in "style Guide for Medical Transcription" (Tessier and Pitman) and couldn't find an answer.
I think if you wrote what the doctor said ....you can't go wrong there either. Good luck!.

in their last book it was x 2, and next year they'll put out another book with some new way that the off-shore people are doing it. So I'd suggest you just do it your employer's way and keep documentation in case they suddenly change THEIR minds and deny they ever told you to do it that way.
