... to potentially establish "straight line" flow down to the foot

Question: straight line; straight-line; or straightline.

I get mixed results on search.

Suggestions and opinions appreciated, thank you.

I'd treat it as a compound adjective - and hyphenate it

Hmm, I disagree about the hyphen. Dictator is describing line flow, not just flow. If he was describing just flow, the hyphen would be needed.

no, it is: The flow is straight-lined, not: The line flow is straight. - no

I would hyphenate straight-line flow - nmess

I sent it in as straight-line.

I don't have QA so it will be the doctor and/or office to correct if it is not how they want it.

Thank you for taking the time to reply :)

Yesterday self referred to another physician, location approximately same as first. This particular physician said what he ...
