Under "Review of Past Medical History" he says "Doctor diagnosed, etc." Is this - kc


Posted: Sep 12, 2010

Under "Review of Past Medical History" he says "Doctor diagnosed, etc." for several paragraphs. Is this a heading or does it need a colon after "diagnosed?"

I probably woudn't use a colon - see message

Without the full sentence I can just guess, but I assume your report looks like this:

REVIEW OF PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
Doctor diagnosed happy feet, ticklish thumb, and exploding brain syndrome.

If that's the case, no colon. I'm just guessing here as to your format, though.

Yes, thank you. - kc

Well, So Far He's Dictated Past Medical History 3 Times
Nov 11, 2010

First time actually turned out to be social history, second time started out sort of sound like medical history which was basically noncontributory, but then turned into the review of systems, and now the third time may actually be the charm.  Now I've just got a lot of heavy breathing while he figures out what's next.  Thank goodness my night is over in another hour or so. ...

"Bilobed microsystem is noted by the pancreas with abduction of the body and tail immediately adjacent to normal pancreatic duct.
