though it's time consuming to look things up in there but it does have a lot of information in it. (Get the 2nd edition--1st is pretty much obsolete). I'm sure others will come up with some good leads for you, too.

cranial nerves are now either expressed in Roman numerals or arabic numbers, whichever the client or employer dictates. For the ordinals you mentioned, BOS spells them out using these examples: 12th cranial nerve or twelfth cranial nerve.

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

For the second, she might have misspeaked. It looks as if she took a stool sample for Hemoccult while doing the rectal exam. I'm thinking she might be saying (or meant to say) "Stool negative for Hemoccult." Then she goes into the urine dip.

I don't think this is logical. They start at the rectum, then meet the sigmoid (left colon), next transverse, then right (descending) colon, then cecum last.
But I'd be more comfortable with the term rigid sigmoidoscope than colonoscope. No way can a rigid instrument get all the way around, right?

There may be other opinions out there, but since it is supposed to be pH, keep it that way even if it does start the sentence. I like the idea of adding the word THE to the front, though. That works too and solves the problem! Good thinking!!!

You then titrate up to a higher dose. Titration is increasing in increments rather than giving a big dose all at once. Hope this helps.

I have had doctors, very brilliant ones while practicing their craft, speak horrible grammar, and I have been told by many, many supervisors and HIM personnel, even in college, that if a doctor uses the correct term but just the incorrect grammatical form, as long as you check with your supervisor, it is correct to make that one change, you are not changing the context one bit, nor changing the doctor's medical knowledge, just making it read much better, seem much more intelligent, for the doctor's wellbeing, as other doctors, personnel, lawyers, etc, get to read the report, and every doctor wants to be well-represented. I have a dear, very old Swedish pediatric gastroenterologist/professor who often will say "poops" when fishing for the words stools or defecates....my boss is more than happy to have me replace that appropriately, as is the doctor himself, ESL is tough!
