Subject: difference between abbreviation and
When in doubt, I refer to Stedman's Abbreviation book. For example, I have always hated typing "afib" for atrial fibrillation, so I looked it up. In this book, the proper way to abbreviate it is AFib. As far as cc versus mL, that is a Joint Commission requirement, not a BOS issue. Another example is sed rate. There is no approved abbreviation that sounds like sed rate, but the book shows sed rt, which is something I wouldn't use. Sed is truncated, not abbreviated, so I expand to sedimentation rate.
I work for 2 companies with slightly different approaches to a couple of BOS issues, both being very reputable MTSOs, so I have to keep them straight in my head. One wants me to use platelets if that is what is said in the CBC dictation; the other wants me to use platelet count.
You will have to decide what path you need to take.

Or are they the same thing? Dictator says that the infant is gradually weaned from pressure OR pressor support and transferred to p.o. medications. The infant has congestive heart failure.
The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either. Thanks for any help!

This is a patient admitted for a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Here is the sentence that makes no sense, this is an ESL, too.
A focus was then placed ** after careful** level of the angle of the mandible, probably to presented dental disease or some mandible node.
The sentence before: A PET scan showed the primary FDG-Avid located probably in the cervix, and no evidence of regional metastatic disease, no evidence of distant metastatic disease.
Thank you for any help with this mess.

I blanked it about 20 times because I couldn't document it but never got any feedback, so now I just type IGMO and haven't had any feedback from that either.

I actually corrected a radiologist to her face because she was using that very term incorrectly, just like your dictator! She admitted she'd had a discussion with a professor in school about that word, and I could tell she couldn't understand it when he explained it and couldn't understand me either! She didn't think I was right, but she finally said she didn't care if I changed it! I was appalled that somebody with an MD & I think a PhD couldn't get the concept! What a nut!
