query regarding medical syntax

0 Hi! I'm new to this board. I am working as a medical trasncriptionist and english is my second language. In one of the reports I made a doctor dictated "labia majora swelling", and i typed it verbatim. The report was pulled for quality check and the statement I typed should be recast into "swelling of the labia majora" - sadly, it was credited to me as a syntax error. The editor's comment has something to do with the use of adjectives vs. possessives, in which i could not fully understand (what she meant).02br

00Can somebody help me figure out, what made the statement wrong and what made it right? Are there resources out there, which refers to the correct medical composition, syntax, semantics, etc.?02br

00Thank you very much for your support.0-

0Writing diagnosis, we usually put the pathological process first, then where is it localized and in the end - is it acute or chronic. By example: Oedema pulmonum; Varices cruris sinistra; Pyelonephritis chronica exacerbata. 0-
