Hyphenated word?
In this medical transcription, is left hemispheric hyphenated?
Status post left hemispheric cerebrovascular accident with the start of mild right hemiparesis.
Status post left hemispheric cerebrovascular accident with the start of mild right hemiparesis.
Top answer
I would not hyphenate left hemispheric, just as I would not hyphenate right hemiparesis. I would, however, use a hyphen if I were to write left-hemisphere, as in: a left-hemisphere stroke (or left-hemisphere cardiovascular accident). I would also use a hyphen if I were to write "right-sided hemiparesis".
- I would not hyphenate left hemispheric, just as I would not hyphenate right hemiparesis.
