Subject: Is it 4-5 doses or 4 to 5 doses?
Quick question; I'm just getting back into the swing of things and I'm realizing my last employer really wasn't a stickler for anything. Now I'm worried I'm gonna mess up at my new transcription job with something small.
The physician is saying "the patient is on 4 to 5 doses of" whatever drug. Is it transcribed as 4-5, 4 to 5, four to five...?
Help plz!!
