Remainder was completed.
Subject: Remainder was completed.
You are absolutely right. The word, "remainder" is the subject ("of the forms is just a prepositional phrase"), and the verb/adverb should always go with the subject, not its modifier(s).

48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated
Subject: 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated
She states that she is unable to eat, continues to lose weight, and is having bouts of vomiting. She did have her 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated that on the first night when she had vomited after her procedure, there were some episodes of breakthrough acid; however, the following day when she was tolerating a diet and had her AcipHex, her pH was well controlled, above a pH of 4, essentially the entire time. Therefore, I discussed with the patient that her chest burning does not appear to be correlated with breakthrough acid of any significant degree and suggests the possibility that a lot of her chest pain and burning may be related to her anxiety and depression.

Laying is correct if she is laying an egg or laying a baby down for a nap. If you recline, you are lying. Sounds like a insult, doesn't it, like she isn't telling the truth.

how do you hand bilaterally. I am very confused on the singular and plural regarding these because doctors say it both ways.
For example, examination of the hip, knee, and ankle is normal bilaterally...singular.
So, is it always singular when you use these words? or an equivalent (left and right lower extremity or extremities, etc)
I have been doing this for 3 months but this seems to keep coming up and i am hearing it dictated both ways. Thanks ahead of time for any help :)
