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 :)

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?
