I'm sorry, Since I already have suprascript and subscript up on my tool bar, my instructions were what to do for O(subscript)2 so all you have to do is type O2 (normal script) and it changes automatically. I don't like having to highlight the 2 and go up there and click the subscript button every time. I would rather type O2 and let Word change it for me. I try to get Word to do as much for me as possible. I do this for cm squared, cm cubed, H2(subscript)0, etc.

Subject: how do you transcribe this??
Doctor says * cardiac-wise the patient is doing well * OR * GI-wise he has had, blah blah blah blah...
I personally do not like the phrase * dash wise * The only way around it, seems to me, is to add a bunch more words like * as far as his cardiac condition is concerned * which does not sound like the dictator.

I have a doctor who keeps saying axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein as if this is one vein he is referring to, but I think it has to be two, so how would you transcribe it when he lists the procedures performed as:
1. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical venous thrombectomy using the Trellis-8 device.
2. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein balloon angioplasty using a 10 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 6 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 7 mm x 4-cm long balloon.
3. Supervision and interpretation of fluoroscopy for performance of right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty.
He doesn't pause between the words axillosubclavian and brachiocephalic vein. Should there be a dash between the two or the word and?

If dictated as "four point oh," you would transcribe as 4.0.
The zero after the decimal indicates the precision of the measurement. In lab values, you would need to transcribe as dictated in order to avoid "changing" the measure.
If you transcribed it as 4, the reader would wonder what you left off. A zero in other locations might be optional or up to the preference of the facility, but not this one.
