we Floridians call them The Keys...it's not incorrect, but each key has a name, Key Largo, Key West, Duck Key, etc. I'd give them The Keys but that's just me *lol*

Nayfeld.com - YelloFins This site shows the Yellofins trademarked name. They also, unfortunately, show YelloFins, which I believe is incorrect. I did a Google search using Yellofins, and found a reputable site in that search with the correct term and formatting.

1. If it is a verbatim account, you should put pee in there if he said it.
2. The patient reports, "When he tried to pee, he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right."
The right way if you were going to quote this would be:
When he tried to "pee" he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right.
The comma would be proper
Subject: The comma would be proper
The comma should be used instead of the semicolon, as this is all pertaining to one item and should not be misconstrued as 2 sentences. It is like a modifier of the diagnosis.

Subject: Proper Naming
You should write is as hallux abductovalgus since the second word is using the combining form o to form a single word from two words. hope this helps

Proper way to type height measurements
Subject: Proper way to type height measurements
What is the correct way to type height measurements. For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch". Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot". Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches. Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"? TIA
