something new for me

Today is my first day of my new account of a hand surgeon/plastic surgeon.  He is easy to do, easy to understand but the gal in the office that had been typing him has some unique ways of doing their consults/letters/IME/arbiter's reports/OP notes and chart notes.  They all go on letterhead for the second through however long they are.  I just had a 6 page arbiter report and she wants it spaced down for pages 2 through 6 to be on letterhead.   To me that is really unusual.  I waste three inches for the letterhead.  She has been there for  15 years and just incorporated this into her job and she does a reasonably good job but has little things that are not really "correct" and that show that she has not been to school.  But she is leaving in a month and so guess I will go along with this and then explain to the doctor the way letters/consults should be done.  It is funny as four of my other docs are always doing letters/consults/notes to this doctor and so she sees the other consults come in not on letterhead and so you would think she would notice but she doesn't.  But I think it will be a decent account and so will do it "their way.   But she said that she preferred if I did not capitalize any of the drugs but I gotta do that correct.    I have often said to others, they are the boss do it their way but it is hard when you have been taught something for so long to do one way.
