Today we came across the most confusing consult report. With one(?) word, the consulting physician managed to destroy all the useful information in the already rather sparse report. He wrote: "The patients exam showed Anormal result that should be followed as per standard screening exams."
...a normal? But why would you capitalize the "A" and connect it to the next word? One typo I could see, but two in the same place?
...abnormal? Totally opposite meaning. Still not sure why you're capitalizing and now you're missing both a crucial letter and an article (e.g. "an").
...anormal? Not a word. Maybe they were deciding to use a different but otherwise common suffix for "not-"? But still capitalized and lacking the article! Ah!!!
TIL: Xerosis cutis is the medical term for abnormally dry skin.
