Patient body habitus - mm


Posted: Dec 03, 2010

Wanted to know if it should be typed "Patient body habitus" or as "Patient's body habitus" ? The doctor makes it hard to differentiate between the two. I am thinking he meant "Patient's body habitus". I have seen it both ways. Would like somebody's opinion.

patient's - nm

patient body habitus is a standard phrase - sm

Type it as dictated, as it is not wrong either way. I hear patient body habitus all the time. Remember, this is technical writing, not prose.

patient's body habitus - nm

I wanted to share my chair info with every MT.  I recently read about the Body Built Chair and decided to check it out.  I did finally purchase the chair after much hesitation because it cost so much.  I love the chair so much!  I am so pleased I purchased it.  They do have a 30 day return policy.  I was having pain and discomfort in my lower back, my legs,  my butt, every where it seems after years of transcribing.  I have purchased several chairs.  ...
