Dear anon
Subject: Dear anon

It seems that some people have nothing better to with their time but to post and point out what they think are mistakes. Perhaps YOU confused a ligitimate question with sarcasm. Perhaps it is YOU who needs to go back and "study" manners before YOU jump to conclusions.


Why would a man need a tampon?....= a ligitimate question.


Why would a man need a tampon, you moron!....= condescending.


Try in the future to read a question as it is written rather than pointing a bony finger.


This board is here for HELP; not for you to act as if you know it all. If you do know the answer, then post the answer, assist your fellow MTs and shut up rather than tell people they need to study more.

Regarding letter h (hour) per BOS...please sm

Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.


q.6 h. (every 6 hours)


In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.


every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription.  So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period.  Thanks.

Hello, I am writing a letter and doc wants me to list this info as a chart in the letter? In 2004 225 pounds, 2005 242 pounds, 2006 267 pounds, 2007 258 pounds, 2008 255 pounds.  How what I format that?

2004  225 pounds


2005  242 pounds


etc?  However, it would not be double spaced for some reason it keeps doing it on here?
