you cannot type it that way because when the report is uploaded to the hospital system, it won't recognize codes like subscript and superscript. So how you've typed it, 8 x 10 to the 4th power, would be correct in that case.

"of" might be okay, too. In laparoscopic surgeries, the doc use a needle, in this case the Veress, to insufflate the abdomen (fill it with air) so that he/she has room to look around in there. The peritoneum fills with the air ("pneumo"). They keep an eye on the pressure so they don't add more than can be handled (like filling up a balloon with air or a car tire--there are gauges to keep track of that, too).

There are two ways. The first way uses the keyboard, the second uses the mouse.
1. Type the following, omitting commas and brackets, and holding down the ALT key while typing the letters that are paired with ALT inside the brackets:
10, [ALT OFP], ENTER, 5, [ALT OFP], ENTER and continue from there.
2. Type 105, highlight just the 5, choose Format, Font, and check the box for Superscript. ENTER and continue from there.

Subject: That's a really good question! Can you superscript?
Some printers don't support it though--but theoretically you can type 10 with a little 5 to the upper right of it using the superscript function....or you could type out five zero's...or leave it the way you did. I have no idea honestly! Good question!

Into or In to?
"Into is a preposition that has many definitions, but they all generally relate to direction.
On the other hand, in by itself can be an adverb, preposition, or adjective (and to by itself is a preposition or an adverb). Sometimes in and to just end up next to each other.
Maybe examples will help!

I keep getting this and I'd like opinions on this. Right after liver/spleen/abdominal exam, she says something that sounds like "go-ac" or "golac" negative. While I'd be inclined to put guaiac, she then does the GU/rectal exam and says heme negative stool. Wouldn't that be repeating herself? So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be instead, or should I stick with guaiac? Thanks bunches!

Which is correct? What do you use?
Times 2 or x 2
Hi all... I have been told by two different places two different things. I can't decide who is right! Is it written times 2 or x 2? For example: The patient had surgery for corneal transplant x 2. Or... The patient had surgery for corneal transplant times 2.
Was my old place of work correct when they told me to type out the word "times"??
Thanks,

s/l outgoing times three
Subject: s/l outgoing times three
In the physical exam section, the first sentence the doctor says is:
"He is pleasant," then what sounds like "outgoing times three," then "in no acute distress." For a full sentence of what would read, "He is pleasant, outgoing x 3, in no acute distress."
Does that sound right? He says it so quickly that I really can't make it out. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard that before.
thanks!

I would have been less forthcoming...you know, I got my job on my own...she should as well. Did someone give you a job without your having earned it yourself? And how do you suppose she will keep it IF she gets it? Will she blame yourself for not knowing how to be an MT (just getting quick fix answers here without knowing how to research or having an understanding of what she is transcribing?) or will she blame this board for not helping her enough?
I can symphathize with being new...everyone started out as a newbie; however, I do not condone - nor has this board - answering job test questions. And if she had books as resources as she stated, her questions on this board discredit that statement.
