Subject: Thought I should follow up in view of the additional posts below. sm
While the gastrocnemius and soleus are 2 separate muscles, they come together in a common insertion to form the Achilles tendon, hence the frequent references to the "gastrocsoleus complex." The term "gastrocsoleus" would not be seen in Grey's because the information deals with the anatomy of each muscle individually, but that does not mean the two cannot be referred to and transcribed in the above manner.
Stedman's shows it as "gastrocnemius-soleus complex" while HPI Orthopedic Words and Phrases makes a reference to "gastroc/soleus." I have typed it as one word for many years and have never seen any QA objection to it. The bottom line will be, if your particular company or account has a preference, then go with that. In the absence of such a stated preference, however, it is acceptable to transcribe "gastrocsoleus" when dictated. Some will view it perhaps as slang or whatever while others will see it as merely constructing a medical term as done within the acceptable parameters of medical terminology for the purpose of referencing anatomical structures that share a point of commonality.

follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
Subject: follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
I prefer to hyphen follow-up when used as a noun or adjective.
example: She will return in 3 weeks for follow-up (or followup). She will return in 3 weeks for a follow-up visit (used as adjective here).
She will follow up in 3 months (used as verb)
Follow-up, follow up, followup all correct
Subject: Follow-up, follow up, followup all correct
I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow.
I need to follow up with my doctor.
I am scheduled for followup later this month.
follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
Subject: follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
For Example:
The patient will follow up in my office.
The patient will be seen for follow-up in my office.
My understanding has always been that follow-up and followup were the same. It was more of a personal preference whether you used the hyphen or used one word; however follow up is always used when used as a verb.
She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)
Subject: She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)

Subject: Additional Information
Thanks Grace. They have me stumped as well. The doctor didn't seem to change his mind at all in this section of the report, and the only other thing he mentions about hypertension is: A history of hypertension with treatment on dyazide daily. In the report the first and second phrases are actually combined, so I've revised them a bit.
1. Past Medical History: A transient ischemic attack, [s/l a critizens that time with aspirin]. Appendectomy in the [s/l 3-D] and [s/l Cs]. Tonsillectomy.
2. Impression: Secondary [s/l dientness] hypertension.
Additional info
Subject: Additional info
Her PMH is hypertension, CHF, dementia, depression, osteoarthritis, diverticulosis, left hip fracture and she is in the ER for vomiting. She is hypotensive & saturating 84%. Her other PSH is hyesterectomy & thyroidectomy. Other than that, I haven't a clue yet. Still typing. The PA is ESL which could be a factor, but I've been typing him for years and he clearly says TUD surgery.
Thanks for your help.

A doctor can follow up with a patient during a follow-up visit (note that the adjectival form requires a hyphen). Neither phrase should be turned into a single hyphenless word.

Would someone be willing to give examples of when to use the hyphen or not to use? Thanks.
follow up v follow-up v followup
Subject: follow up v follow-up v followup
If you can use the word "the" directly in front of the words "follow up", then it needs to be one word. That is the "official" note from my QA. Have a great day.
Follow up:followup: follow-up
Subject: Follow up:followup: follow-up
Ok,, been at this for years,, I think i have it finally and then a QA will correct followup, follow up, or follow-up. I have read and reread the explanation in all the books.. I am looking for someone to "splain to me in english Lucy". I know will follow up is correct,, he has a follow-up appointment, but I seem to get messed up with followup versus follow up. I know the verb and none definition but it does not soak in... HELP

Some posts just got deleted as we were trying to help someone. My answer to her format question was: Some of my docs do dictate each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.
