Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts

The studies demonstrated carotid artery disease but, also, she has a platelet count of 1004 k per cmm and persistent reduction in her hemoglobin and hematocrit at 9.4 and 31.5.


Does anyone know how to format this?  I can't find the K at all in relation to these values, but doc is  clearly saying,  1004 K per cmm.  thank you.


re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts

K is abbreviation for thousands; also used as abbreviation for potassium. platelets are expressed in thousands.

I think the 1004 k/cmm should be expressed this way.

New standard states:
Subject: New standard states:

And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.

Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.

Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.

Use numerals for fractions.

Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.

Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.

Spell out numbers used as pronouns.

That should get you started!
