Neurological problem or neurological problem? - Blondee

Posted: Apr 09, 2013

I was told to type this doc verbatim, yet correct grammar. He says. "Neurological issue". By the way, he is a neurologist. Which is correct?

when told to give verbatim, then that is what you do - no question

I'm not really clear about why you ask. Are you wanting to change the statement of "neurological problem" to "neurological issue" or vice versa? Give him what he says.

I asked because we are still supposed to correct grammar.

We're not sure what you are asking. What is the exact sentence that sounds wrong? The term "neurological issue" is correct, as is "neurological problem". Are you asking whether you should capitalize the n?

You are asking which is correct, but I don't know what the choices are. :) Do you mean neurological vs neurologist?

Agree--not sure what your question is. - (see message)

Blondee--your initial post looks like they're identical, if the capital "N" is because it's starting your sentence...unless you're asking if "neurological" should be capitalized; but since you're talking about grammar, I don't think we understand what it is that you think is grammatically incorrect. It seems grammatically correct to say: "The patient is being seen for a neurological problem," if that's what you think is correct/incorrect grammar. "Neurological" would be an adjective, describing "problem." It wouldn't need to be capitalized, unless it's the first word in a sentence.

Maybe someone can give you a better answer if you could clarify examples of the correct and incorrect choices about which you're wondering.

what do you mean "by the way, he is a neurologist" - nm
