Subject: There is no dash...
There is no dash in the abbreviation. The "C" stands for continuous - continuous positive airway pressure. The MD probably just has a preference for his to look that way. Since it is a verbatim account, I would do as he requests - on his work only. Continue to use the correct CPAP elsewhere. You're right - he's wrong, but he's the doc! Sometimes we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. Sorry for your dilemma. Hope this was helpful. Have a good day :-)
