I am trying to solve a problem for a bilateral occipital nerve block. I need to list each portion of the nerve block as a separate line under the procedure header, and as a separate paragraph in under the procedure summary.

Ex. Procedure header

PROCEDURE:

#1. {DOCUMENT.APPROACH} greater occipital nerve block.

#2. {DOCUMENT.APPROACH} lesser occipital nerve block.

#3. {DOCUMENT.APPROACH} posterior auricular nerve block.

When the physician does a bilateral procedure he wants the procedures for each side listed. I need help in formulating a way for both sides to be listed individually for a total of 6 procedures. The simplest and cleanest way I can think of would be to create a small subroutine for each side and have Bilateral == L+R. However, my programming skills aren't that advanced. I thought that maybe I could tie the extra paragraphs to an edit field called "# of procedure" and that when "# of procedures == 6 then..." and then do something similar for the extra lines that would be needed in the procedure header. Would this work, and would I need to put it on the Worksheet side of the form in VFE or attached to the translation of the "# of procedures" variable?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sincerely,

Rebecca H.
