If it is in quotes, you had better leave it... esp in regard to the legal aspect, but also the integrity of the document.

That said, usually the client has a preference regarding these things.

I typed:  CHIEF COMPLAINT:  "I was hallucinating."

I was corrected as:  CHIEF COMPLAINT:  "I was hallucinating".

Am I wrong here?

Administrator, these quotes below are what we are referring to.  Her attitude and language are indefensible.  Please ban her from this board.

From MQLOVER: 

"1.  ….is utterly ridiculous that you find a negative thing to say about everything you read you nasty, nasty lady. "

"2.  Maybe you better wonder about what is for dinner tonight, I am sure you are thinking about that."

"3. Yeah, you make a lot of sense! Stupid.  I find it funny that you think people who enjoy their jobs are immature and have multiple personality disorders. So wake up ugly and go find a shrink."

"4.  You really are stupid.  What I have to say is the only loser here is you, so lose about 50 pounds and come back later."

There are many more examples on record.  Thank you,

The professional MTs who really want to use this site.

Do you have a supervisor/liaison/QA person to ask? 

I agree ... not really professional.  Of course, I still cringe when I have to type "belly" instead of stomach.
