Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine. It also depends on client preference. It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other. I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on. I have to retrain my fingers. I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.

are private surgical hospitals, and even with laparoscopies, cystoscopies, hysteroscopies, etc., there are small 1cm incisions, but you are very correct, with either upper OR lower endoscopies (colon or sigmoid) you would have the scope directly inserted..........does anyone else get hired on for "one or two" accounts and end up with a dozen??? just wondering after all this time....

I have been doing hem/onc for 7-1/2 years, and it seems as though every account I have worked on uses their own style, i.e., currently I work on M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and they want stage IA, IIB, IIIC, etc., written as stage I-A, II-B, III-C, etc., plus a few other things that are done differently than normal. The client is always right, so you have to be sure to follow their guidelines.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

Apparently BOS states both ways. Ex. X-rays, 2 views, blah, blah, blah.. or X-rays, two views, blah, blah, blah.... Same would apply with 1st and first. I've had experiences where the client dictates which way they'd like it, and both are correct depending on which BOS you go by. Hope this helps.
