The patient states that she is here for followup of pneumonia. Looking back in the chart, she had cleandocsay and was diagnosed to have a bronchitis.

You heard it right. It's "ears." Infection obviously spread to the ear.

What is otitis media?
Otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear. This inflammation often begins when infections that cause sore throats, colds, or other respiratory or breathing problems spread to the middle ear. These can be viral or bacterial infections.

Staph aureus (notice Staph is capitalized; a period is not necessary)

use of bilateral with pleural forms
Subject: use of bilateral with pleural forms
That's always ben a puzzle to me too, but I think that either way might be acceptable. The qualifying adjective (bilateral) suggests an "augmentation" was performed on both sides, and more often than not, MDs will dictate singular nouns following bilateral. Sometimes, though, if it sounds strange, I will use the pleural, i.e., one of my docs says "bilateral lower extremity" which I change to extremities. Would be interested in further input or if AAMT has a directive on this.

Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
Subject: Eponymic forms per AAMT-dropping the 's
AAMT says to drop the possessive form with eponymic terms such as Down syndrome, Tinel sign, Lachman sign, etc. However, when used without "test" or "sign," do you add an 's. i.e. "He has a negative Tinel's," or should it be "He has a negative Tinel." Another one is Speed sign. It sounds wierd to put "He has a negative Speed." Thanks so much!!
