Yes.
Remainder was completed.
Subject: Remainder was completed.
You are absolutely right. The word, "remainder" is the subject ("of the forms is just a prepositional phrase"), and the verb/adverb should always go with the subject, not its modifier(s).
Was completed. Remainder is the subject here and is singular not pleural. nm

Subject: 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated
She states that she is unable to eat, continues to lose weight, and is having bouts of vomiting. She did have her 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated that on the first night when she had vomited after her procedure, there were some episodes of breakthrough acid; however, the following day when she was tolerating a diet and had her AcipHex, her pH was well controlled, above a pH of 4, essentially the entire time. Therefore, I discussed with the patient that her chest burning does not appear to be correlated with breakthrough acid of any significant degree and suggests the possibility that a lot of her chest pain and burning may be related to her anxiety and depression.

What are the combining forms?
Subject: What are the combining forms?
I can't find anything even when I separate it out like the OP said. I would like to learn what this word means if somebody could help me out. Should it be xanth with an h instead of just xant? Even trying that, I am still stuck.
correct forms
Subject: correct forms
Staph aureus (notice Staph is capitalized; a period is not necessary)
postop (no period)
When you have a 2-word bacteria name, the first word is capitalized generally. The second word is generally not capitalized.
A Stedman's manual for Infectious Disease words is quite useful for these words.
Klebsiella
Staphylococcus
Streptococcus
Escherichia coli
I could go on... But I won't because I'm tired and the Canadian is helping me feel no pain... ;)

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms
That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
Subject: Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
AAMT says to drop the possessive form with eponymic terms such as Down syndrome, Tinel sign, Lachman sign, etc. However, when used without "test" or "sign," do you add an 's. i.e. "He has a negative Tinel's," or should it be "He has a negative Tinel." Another one is Speed sign. It sounds wierd to put "He has a negative Speed." Thanks so much!!
