Hi,
I have a question that is driving me bonkers trying to figure out.
I transcribe radiology, and the following phrase is used frequently:
"..... mild to moderate grade...." by one particular doctor.
Does anyone have any ideas about the proper way this phrase should be transcribed?
For example, mild- to moderate-grade; mild to moderate grade; mild-to-moderate-grade?
Thank you for any help! ...

Doctor says "we will punt him over to Dr. So and So." Would you type "punt," leave blank, or replace this with "send," "refer," or something more appropriate? This doctor is always saying odd things...LOL. ...
