can't you just leave it abbreviated, or do you have to spell it out. I would leave as dictated.

Subject: As you stated,
working in different labs, the values and specs would be different; therefore, the other poster is not wrong either. Some labs prefer it one way and others prefer it another. I have always typed it A1c personally, and in my years of experience as a transcriptionist have not had QA correct me on that yet. I just felt that you came on a little strong towards the other poster and yelling isn't really necessary. Have a nice day. :-)

Unless it is stated 3 mm you cannot assume that it is mm
Subject: Unless it is stated 3 mm you cannot assume that it is mm
According to a very detailed message from my QA department with authoratative references cited, unless the first measure is stated specifically, you are making an assumption that _3_ is mm and cannot assign 3-4 mm. They explained I had to use 3 x 4-mm effusion. There are many units of measure and their point was to assume is not permissible as it could be an error.

What you are saying is redundant. It's already been OvER-stated. Give it a rest.

new to the field but has been doing ortho so far. She is now doing some family practice.  We were all new once right?  If you read all the posts she even thought she could not post so often, which is not true. You can post as many times as you like I would think. I don't remember reading any rules stating you cannot. I think they just like you to try to stick to the appropriate subject boards accordingly.  I only try to post answers to word help questions if I'm pretty sure. If I'm not sure then I usually don't reply with anything at all.  I had to put my 2 cents in here though being another MT who does have a lot of experience but likes to learn from others as well.

You never know with labs, they can be tricky. If you are really concerned you could always add a marker for it to be double checked but I would leave as dictated.

I think you are correct. I believe they are three separate things. There is general pain that stars to localize to one spot. There is rebound pain where they press on your abdomen slowly, but then unexpectedly let go. And there is guarding pain if when they examin or stomach you they press or attempt to press and you instinctively try to guard your abdomen with your hands.

I would leave them in. Yes, it is redundant, but it's also what the doctor dictated. The only exception would be, in my opinion, if there were account specifics covering this and then I would follow the account specifics.

TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.
I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.
Hope this helps
