type this with a baby on my lap.
I looked up a couple of words after I posted for my own benefit (bet you're dying to know which ones they are!). There were some errors not addressed that concerned me greatly from a hospital's point of view as they would be errors as judged by Joint Comm.
To be helpful, an excellent resource for a newbie is a book called "A Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary" which was one of the very first resources in print other than a medical dictionary. Many of the questions asked today could have been found there with little effort. It is an expensive book but well worth every scint (ha!).

second edition of the BOS. They should go back to the first edition, but just add the necessary change about type II diabetes changing to type 2 diabetes. Medical record style guides should not completely change every three years. Doctors have never heard of the BOS for goodness sakes.

At the risk of sounding dumb, I need to ask this as it happens quite often. Math was always my worst subject in school... Dictation states pt is on a half mg of something. For example "spironolactone 12 and a half mg". I know they want me to type it as a decimal rather than writing out the words. Is the proper way to write this 12.5? (Does .5 equal a half mg?) Thanks!
