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 :)

No Suboxone either. What a horrid report. Thank you so much for trying to help. Maybe I can just get nailed by QA again. I got critical feedback for misspelling a word that does not even exist yesterday. The doc said it, I spelled it and put a hyphen in between "dis" and the rest of the word, and QA wanted no hyphen. I can't do ANYTHING right of late (very long story including the mtquestions situation).
Thanks again for trying, though!!

as well as plural? I left a note on a report that I had changed "foci" to "focus" when he was clearly stating there was ONE focus of enhancement on an exam, and he just dictated one where he specifies "there is a foci - F - O - C - I - of echogenicity..." on an ultrasound.
So am I just old-fashioned, anal-retentive, or what?

only psych reference book I had. It was the old Stedman's one that had psych and neuro mixed together. HATED that book, LOL.

She was clearly saying "saline walked" rather than saline washed or locked. I think she was distracted (dictating at 3 a.m.) and just threw a wrong word in there, so I left her a blank.
