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).
If he says grade 2 out of 3, the only change I would make is to use numbers and not type out the wo
Subject: If he says grade 2 out of 3, the only change I would make is to use numbers and not type out the word "two". The rest is fine.

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.

What are the rules according to AAMT BOS on spelling out numbers in reports. If doc says...Patient has had headaches for the past two days...do I spell out two or do I put a number 2?
Thanks for your help.
