Says that the patient has a paronychial infection of his finger and also uses the term paronychial flap. 

My mind is blank, kids are home today, and I have spent way too much time trying to figure this out.

Would paronychial be correct or would parenchymal be correct?  Or are they both wrong?? Thanks so much!!!!

K  -- when the doc dicates the patient is a 1-year-old though 10-year-old should the ages be typed out or Arabic numerals?  I believe BOS says the above -- however QA for the new company says "typed out"   --- grrr

thanks

for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back

just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel

i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated....

since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....

thanks!

I also do plastic/reconstructive surgery reports and am wondering about these words as well, i.e. if okay combined or not:

back lift    arm lift    thigh lift   neck lift   

I know that browlift is okay

thank you
