Subject: The phrase "as well as"
I'm never sure.. for example, The patient has hypertension, as well as coronary artery disease. Is the comma necessary?

I have a dictator that constantly uses "as well as" in the following manner:
"The patient is treated for a variety of issues including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, LVH, as well as generalized risk factor modification."
Shouldn't there be an "and" before LVH to make "as well as" work in this sentence? I read that "as well as" does not mean "and" - any help?
TIA

"as well as" does not equal "and"
Subject: "as well as" does not equal "and"
i.e., the phrase isn't a conjunction and doesn't get treated the same way in a sentence. So your first choice is correct. I find that a lot of docs dictate w, x, y as well as z. I always change this to w, x and y as well as z.
Good catch.

Hello everyone,
I am working on an orthopedic dication.
The sentence is:
"Patient has no tenderness over the other areas of her back two fists percussion, and has negative straight leg raising sign today."
Does "two fists percussion" make any sense?!
Thanks! :)

 I was just brought back from work release to be put in a different BOB (I am still pretty new. I know this means Book of Business but no one has explained to me what this means. I am guessing this is a new team on a different account) and the client profile on this one is completely different so I am not always sure what I am listening to or hearing. For this doc, he is doing an ER transfer and after Chief Complaint he says 51-50 medical clearance. Anyone out there, can you give me a clue what this is and how he may want it in there? Just like I typed it?

Weird phrase
Just had a doc say: Lungs clear to IPPA. It's a first for me, but Google had hits for it, so I'm sure it's common. But how odd to say during the physical exam that lungs are clear to INSPECTION, palpation, percussion and auscultation.
I think of looking carefully when I hear inspection. So it sounds like he somehow took a peak at her lungs. Was he using a bronchoscope for this physical exam (no way - because he'd have documented that carefully so he could charge for it, LOL).
Now I'm off to check and see what OneLook says about inspection. Oy.
