I have an old copy of AAMT BOS (copyright 1995) and QA sent me something like the below. "He is to follow up with me for post hospitalization follow up within "1 to 2 weeks" after discharge." I had originally transcribed it as "one to two weeks." He goes on to state "Per AAMT BOS, use numerals almost exclusively, rather than spelling out the numbers." Did that change in the new newer book? TIA
