I think I am just confusing the issue for you. Here is what the BOS says about Military time. Maybe this is more helpful.
"Military time identifies the day's 24 hours by numerals 0100 through 2400. Hours 0100 through 1200 are consistent with a.m. hours 1 through noon, while hours 1300 through 2400 correlate with p.m. hours 1 through midnight.
This form takes four numerals. Do not separate hours from minutes with a colon. Do not use a.m. or p.m."
In my previous post I made a mistake, I told you if the number started with a 1 0r a 2 it was p.m. - that is not true. 1000 hours is 10 a.m. 1100 hours is 11 a.m. and 1200 hours is noon. 1300 hours is 1 p.m. etc...
SM for quick clarification...
He has a long-standing problem. However, his problem is of long standing.

clarification of verbatim!!
Subject: clarification of verbatim!!
I am told to type some test files verbatim and I know that means exactly the way the dictator is saying it. My problem is the doctor is saying ain't and doesn't, which are contractions. This just do not seem right, right?

I would leave it as you have it if the doctor is talking about two different fingers, which was my assumption. In my experience, doctors like to omit the word and a lot and commas are substituted. If he/she is taking about the same finger, then omit the comma.

Oops! I meant, in the discharge summary under the hospital course heading must we expand dictated abbreviations as we would under the impression or diagnosis? Or is it acceptable to leave them verbatim.
Thanks!!!!!!

Subject: For further clarification, per AAMT BOS2 if there is a value associated with this abbreviation it should be sq cm, i.e. 2 sq cm not 2 cm2 as too many numerals may cause confusion and not be easily read.
