In Reply to: Small bowel is the anatomic term. It is - sm
Subject: now i'm curious...
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!

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
