neuro- is a combining form referring to a system of an anatomical part, be it the entire body or the system of specific an anatomical part,
neural -- Relating to any structure composed of nerve cells or their processes, or that on further development will evolve into nerve cells
Since the foramen (foramina-pl) is a specific structure, the combining form would be incorrect.

for a straight consult rep and not real letter
Subject: for a straight consult rep and not real letter
but it DOES depend on the client profile/preference like the other poster said.....I get this format all the time in REAL consult reports (not letters) and I just type *Dear Dr. Smith* - I have just seen your patient....blah blah (can usually go under reason for consult or HPI) and then do my headings as dictated.
Good question, though!

hardcore verbatim you have to leave it as is, whether it looks ugly or not. I know, I really don't like it when they abbreviate left and right, leave words off sentence structures so they can speak faster and get it over with.

Perhaps that poster was in the middle of a report.......so one wants the answer ASAP...but for years I mistyped Mohs....thought it was MOHS.....you know, like a flap in surgery.....and alot of them are all caps.....then my friend had to have Mohs surgery and I learned. The great thing about MT'g is that we are continually learning new things.

it would seem that the question was asked because you asked so many questions in a row. That normally does not happen unless someone is doing homework or taking a test.

type verbatim. The doc is saying pussy and that is what she should type.
If you look in the dictionary, there is a definition for pussy which means "full of or resembling pus".
You can't say "no way is "pussy" correct. You are telling her to alter the sentence and she said it is a verbatim account. It is a word.
If it is not verbatim, then alter away but you better be careful if you do this a lot.

each lab has their own specs. also, when a doc says low blood count, he would normally mean wbc; however, a lot of times, the doc would talking about the hemoglobin. to be safe, i would just type what he says.

I read both of your posts and it was a bit confusing to me. If you are asking what the word *saline* may be than that would clear it up. The confusion is that you put *saline s/l*. Normally, people put the s/l before the word they are trying to figure out. If there is another word in the sentence that goes after saline, you have to give us what it sounds like. If the sounds like is saline, that would help to clear it up.

must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.
Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web.
Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life. For all we know, the poster could be a troll. Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.
that's right but the poster's sentence....sm
Subject: that's right but the poster's sentence....sm
the poster's sentence is what I was describing - here's the sentence:
Cooperative young man who tends not to be very s/l robose (roe-bose)
and so I said in the subject line - *not very talkative* - sentence being *tends not to be very verbose.....
I guess I should have explained that better in my original post - sorry about that *S*

You may want to bold the "Addendum:" Then type as usual. This often happens at the end of the report and should be placed there. At least this is how I have always done it.
