Madhan's suggestion isn't a chart. If he specifically requests a chart I would type it that way. It doesn't matter what you think looks better. It matters what the doctor thinks looks better.

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"

Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...

Glad you posted the correct answer.

Buckwalter retractor and Buchwalter retractor (rather than the correct Bookwalter?). There were several others, but I can't recall them now. I gave my book away about 15 years ago, and strictly use Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment words, Stedman's Surgery words, and Vera Pyle's latest. I think what you're seeing is an entry before Hasson was verified. The same thing happened with Steffee/Steffe and Veress/Verress. If there were two spellings for Hasson/Hassan, I would think Vera's book would clarify. Time will tell, though. Ya never know in this business.

I would do 60%. I have several doctors that will say 60 (as in ) 6-0. Clarifying the numbers so you don't put 16. They do 50, 5-0 so you don't put 15 because they sound close. It just sounds like sixty-six-zero. Put what you feel is right but I would be from experienc it is 60%

that type out zero if it stands alone gets me and
Subject: that type out zero if it stands alone gets me and

I truly don't think most orthopedists or chiropractors (both of which were my first fields 30 years ago) like zero alone when they are giving degrees of movement of a limb, i.e., 30 degrees of extension, 0 degrees of flexion, 10 degrees of abduction, and 0 degrees of adduction......I truly don't think they would want zero degrees in any part of that....just my *take*


If we were to follow the BOS2 statement about zeroes in this particular case above, I do believe the orthopedists and/or chiropractors would have a problem with that. 


Even in labs now, I DO type zero troponin for 0 troponin, but I don't think it looks very good when all other labs in same paragraph are numerical....


and let's think about urinalysis...... ..... zero red cells or 0 red cells


(they rarely do this - they will say 0-2 red cells and in that case, the zero is not standing alone and we can use 0 there but it's just more to think about.....because occasionally, if a patient has had hematuria, let's say.....the dictator might very well say:  There are zero red cells.)


just commenting and exercising my own concerns and/or opinions...

One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm
Subject: One thing--O2 is an O, not a zero. O stands for oxygen. sm

So, for #3, it would be either 4 liters of O2, or 4 L O2 (depending on your account specifics--check to see if you should subscript the 2). Make sure that is an O, not a 0. As far as typing F for temperature, check your account specifics. If they do want you to insert Fahrenheit, leave a space before it. If it is not dictated, it may be okay to leave it out. Again, account specifics prevail.
