Three month's time or three months' time? TIA!

Three months' time
Subject: Three months' time
One month's time. All other-two months' time, etc. As you would type one month and simply add an 's. All others already are pleural so you simply add the apostrophe after.

SHE'S BEEN AN MT FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS!! SM
Subject: SHE'S BEEN AN MT FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS!! SM
I think you're jealous because she is getting help. She did the actual transcription herself. I didn't listen to it. If you had read my posts, and obviously you did not, I referred her to some references that would help her. I prefer books rather than links for many, many reasons.
As far as breaches in confidentiality, I don't know who NewbieMT is, where she lives, even if she is a "she," or where her account is. There is no telling by the document she presented for help. She was careful to not even leave dates of admission or discharge. Her report was presented such that it was totally untraceable, unrecognizable as far as identifying an individual, and completely generic. I give her a lot of credit for that. She has a lot of sense.
BTW, your posts are atrocious in grammar, punctuation and syntax. Tacky, tacky Stapler. I think you should focus on your own back yard.
What her QA is or is not doing is none of your business, nor mine. You didn't read older posts, and are just speaking out of an orifice. Newbie asked for help, and she got it. I don't bother with (so-called) MTs who don't give a flying you-know-what. I don't even answer their posts when it's something they could easily look up. See for yourself. I wouldn't waste my precious free time on someone who didn't care, who was out only for the money. This gal is good, and deserves a hand under the elbow THAT WE ALL HAD WHEN WE WERE LEARNING. Have you forgotten, or did you malign the people who tried to help you when you were learning?
You're not going to win this argument, so back off. If this newbie, or any other newbie (or even a not-so-newbie) wants my help, they're going to get it.
BTW, You ARE flaming. I've read some of your posts on other boards, and you are trouble. Leave this newbie alone. She's doing great and obviously is working hard.
"one does for themselves?" Really, now.

Just when I think I have it on format - I don't. The following is under PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. What would the subheading be?
Patient walks to the right occasionally. She has trouble getting started because of discomfort. She can walk on heels and toes briefly. However, on a tandem walk she really has difficulty with that. She does not line up her toes easily, loses her balance very easily with that. This is typed as dr. dictated. Suggestions would be appreciated.

If someone has a dull aching sensation or sharp stabbing sensation would you hiphenate (dull-aching sensation) or slash (dull/aching sensation) or just leave it (dull aching sensation)? Thanks for any input to my "stupid" question.

I was taught that if the "orthopedics" came after the name of the place, it should be capitalized (UoV Orthopedics). If not, it wouldn't be capitalized(orthopedic department at UoV). Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone! :)

Format rules in MT
Okay, I am an old gal working mostly ias in-hospital MT (VA, Teaching hospital), but I did also work off and on for MTSOs at home. Now going back a long time, I was always taught that in formatting Problem Lists or Hospital Course by problem list you transcribe it this way. Problem #1 - HYPERTENSION. The patient is taking lisinopril currently..... or if the doc did not say PROBLEM #1, then you transcribed it 1. HYPERTENSION. Blah, blah, blah. When did this change and become wrong? Most of the docs I am now transcribing for one of the major MTSOs now (left the hospital), actually ask that we capitalize the major problem. Is this in the so-called AHDI BOS2?
IMHO, using the capitalization on the problem is much easier to read, than this...
1. Hypertension. The blah, blah, blah..
2. Diabetes mellitus type 2. Uncontrolled. Not compliant.
Any QAers out there can answer this one for this old school nitpicker?

Can someone show me an example of how to type a report that has multiple problems. The doctor does one problem completely, then goes onto the next one.
It doesn't look right typing HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS, PHYSICAL EXAMINATION twice throughout the report.
Thanks
