Sentence reads: A 20 cc subcutaneous pocket was formed. My question relates to cc versus mL - sm
Subject: Sentence reads: A 20 cc subcutaneous pocket was formed. My question relates to cc versus mL - sm
mL refers to liquid measures, and cc (or cubic centimeters) to solid measures. For some reason, I cannot get my brain to differentiate whether this 20 cc subcutaneous pacemaker pocket falls into the solid measure or liquid measure category. I THINK it would be solid measure, but it's been a long day and my brain is totally zapped. Appreciate any input!

the measurement precedes the noun - as in 4-mm mole versus a mole 4 mm in diameter. It should always be abbreviated mm when an exact measurement is given, i.e. 4 mm versus a few millimeters (in case that's what you're asking).

The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

African-American hyphenated?
Subject: African-American hyphenated?
I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.
Just call me cornfused and befuzzled.

Does it matter when the doctor dictates the names in a different order than is listed in the word books? For example, O'Connor-O'Sullivan vs. O'Sullivan-O'Connor retractor.
