I am using the Medical Annotation thing type to store transcribed notes from a physician. In our application, these notes usually have multiple lines and are displayed using the pre HTML tag. Below is an example. However, when I set the Annotation.Content string to these notes, the notes appear all run together in the HealthVault explorer (i.e., the newlines don't appear to be honored). Is there any way to have the HealthVault explorer honor the newlines in the content string? Should I be using a different thing type?

DATE OF PROCEDURE:
Today
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Need for vascular access.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Need for vascular access.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
1. Ultrasound guidance for needle placement into the left basilic vein.
2. Placement of a 5-French, dual-lumen Power PICC SOLO (peripherally inserted
central catheter) via the left basilic vein.
PROCEDURALIST:
Jane Doe, RN CCRN
PICC Certified
ANESTHESIA:
Local with 1% Lidocaine.
INDICATIONS:
TESTFNAME,TESTLNAME is a 43-year-old female. As the patient will require vascular
access, request came for PICC placement. The patient presents now for PICC insertion.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION:
Informed consent was obtained. Prior to consent, discussion included risks such as
infection, catheter malposition, bleeding, or thrombus. Benefits were also discussed
and included extended use for a long period of time, access for blood draws, and IV
medications. Patient/family understand both the risks and benefits and are in
agreement to proceed as planned.
Ultrasound imaging confirmed the left basilic vein. A site on the arm was marked for
needle placement. A hard copy of the venous access site was made. The patient was
placed in a position of comfort with the elbow support, arm extended and the palm up.
Measurements for the PICC length was performed and measured at 43 cm.
The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. Maximum barrier
precautions were maintained. The PICC was trimmed to a length of 43 cm. Local
anesthetic was achieved at the insertion site using 1% Lidocaine.
The vein was then entered using a 21-gauge micropuncture needle under direct
ultrasound guidance. The needle was observed being placed into the vein by
ultrasound. After blood return was obtained, a 0.018 wire was advanced without

difficulty. The needle was exchanged for a 5-French dilator and peel-away sheath
over the wire. The dilator and the wire were removed and the pre-cut PICC was
inserted into the peel-away sheath. The peel-away sheath was removed and the
catheter was advanced 43 cm. The port(s) was/ were flushed with normal saline as per
protocol. The PICC was secured using a StatLock device and a dry transparent
dressing was applied. A chest x-ray was obtained to verify tip placement.
The patient tolerated the procedure well.
