A guess, as I have never done ENT clinic work, but do you really think "tenth" would make sense?

Hence the s/l - ozmt

I'm not saying that's what I think it would be, I'm just saying that's what it sounds like with possibly a "th" on the end.

I can't verify "tense tonsils" - can you point me in the right direction in case QA query it or is it a wild guess? Saying "someone on MT Stars told me" isn't going to cut it!

4+ tonsils are huge and very swollen, possibly - Olive

infected. Tense makes sense in the context. Large, swollen, stretched.

thanks! - ozmt

Okay, I have been very confused about this lately. When a doctor is reviewing medical reports from other providers and is documenting it within his report, should it be done in present tense or past tense??? I think that it should be done all in the past tense, but I have had arguments for both. Basically, I just want the right answer. For example, "The patient was seen on 06/10/09 and stated that he had right leg pain. The report indicated that the patient had an antalg ...
