This is ridiculous.

The right way is, as I stated:

40-week, appropriate for gestational age, female infant.

You are all confused by hyphens, you do not know how to use and commas you do not know how to use.

I do not want to pick a fight, it is YOU who just cannot admit that I am right and you are wrong.
I assume that you are all republicans, not being able to admit defeat. LOL !

This is a new doctor to this practice and I have never had as much difficulty with trying to figure out a doctor (except for ESL of course)! He's on a roll tonight.

Vistaril is a medication that can be prescribed to relieve a lot of symptoms.

You behave as if you were a doctor, all knowing. Last not least, let's get right to the bottom of this, you and I and we all we just transcribe what doctors are dictating. Don't get a swelled head.
