my first thought is offloading foam but not sure if that is right
Subject: my first thought is offloading foam but not sure if that is right
don't usually apply a foam such a a moisturizing foam or something that soaks into the skin. If they told the patient to change positions a lot or put extremities up, I would be more inclined to think it is offloading foam to take the pressure off the area of the ulceration.

Subject: "Falen" on right thumb tip
The patient has a 2-week history of a "falen" on her right thumb tip. It was decompressed in the ER and she subsequently went on to have an MRI.

Rule of thumb for followup/follow up
A good rule of thumb I was taught in training for followup/follow up is if you can put "a" or "the" in front of followup, it is the noun form; otherwise it is the verb form. Ex.
...a/the followup appointment.
...a/the followup x-ray.
...will follow up. (You can't put "a" or "the" in front of follow up, it won't work.)
Anyway, just thought I would share something that has helped me tremendously as a newbie.
