Subject: numbers-don't make fun pls!
I am confused. This is probably something so easy, but I am brain dead! Do we use numbers for everything now? If someone could explain it to me, it would be greatly appreciated! How would this be typed- The patient was seen 3x in the past week. The patient has had the problem for 2-days or two days? I have read the instructions, but still get confused. The patient takes digoxin 3x a day or three times a day? Before, I just typed out the numbers one through nine, and anything after nine, would be numbers (except for medicine dosing).
same here. Type out numbers at beginning of sentences. Otherwise type numeral if in sentence itself.

numbers - type out versus arabic
Question: What is the rule of thumb: In a report I know it is in medication and measurements like 5 mg and 5 inches. But what about in dictation? 5 weeks or five weeks, 5 children or five children. I know BOS changed their policy on using more arabic numbers instead of typing out. Can someone advise what is the preferred way? Does it apply something to things or objects versus units of time like 5 weeks or 5 days? Thank you.

Garden is capped per my ortho book.
From googling I suspect it should be Garden type IV fracture. There are hits where it is referred to as grade, but the ones that call it a type look more authentic to me. More research might be in order.

Generally it's a rule not to use numbers at the beginning of a sentence, but this is generally waived for this particular instance. It is
Height: 6 feet.
If they add inches it's
Height 6 feet 2 inches with no comma to separate them.
