Subject: M.D. and MS-periods?
I am supposed to be typing M.D. with periods. I have M.S. in the same report. Are there supposed to be periods for Jane Doe, M.S.?

Everything can't come from the BOS. Some things we do have to 'wing it' so to speak. I have a verbatim account and can only type PRN, no periods, all caps, so that's how it would be done. P.r.n. Tylenol doesn't look right, so I would have to put it PRN Tylenol.
Since it's verbatim, how about w/o periods? Prn Tylenol. I don't think that looks bad. nm
