Subject: Terminology/usage questions...please advise
Okay, the dictator says "subcu". So, I type "subcu" because it is a verbatim account.
QA changed it to "subq". I challenge this and the advisor I asked said that AAMT BOS says "subcu" but never "subq".
Then comes along a spider (oh, excuse me, supervisor) who screams at me because, HE states, we should NEVER use "subcu"..we should always figure out which one is meant and ALWAYS spell it out. I said I don't see that written anywhere and this is a verbatim account.
He states no one anyone, no matter what the customer says, should type things like cath, subcu, alk phos, preop, tib-fib, etc.
Do any of you type those things? I just want to know the simple answer. I believe the advisor I asked because they showed me in the BOS where it was.
I think he's too uptight, lol.
