but it depends on if your account is strict "type what they say" and abbreviations like this are okay. I'm not in my office so I can't check BOS, but I'd bet the BOS says write it out unless you have strict rules about typing what is dictated.

Subject: The account that I am on
The account I type is "almost verbatim". We type subcu, but in the lab values we have to expand the workds (alkaline phosphatase, et cetera). If a word is dictated that is not a known abbreviation, we have to type it out. I think each account is different, and as the other poster said, they should have given you an client form so that you would know what the hospital expects. Sounds like your guy kinda got his tail in a crack and felt like he needed to unload on a poor, innocent MT who was just trying to do her job! Hang in there!  W'e're cheering for you!

Does your account use the BOS 2?
Subject: Does your account use the BOS 2?
That's the source of the "Don't capitalize it when it stands alone" rule. My suggestion would be to follow BOS if your account uses that and to be consistent. Stedman's is (are?) notorious for inconsistency with this sort of thing.
