many MTs fail tests. MTs type according to their supervisor's instruction (whether right or wrong) and when they test - they fail because of it. That's why these small companies are horrible for newbies. They teach them incorrectly.

My guess is that the provider did not spell it correctly. I do not know if you have access to your dictators, but I would spell it with the "y" and then tell him your reference. I often do this for providers and they are very thankful. Most dictators I have use pneumoperitoneum and I do not believe I have ever had physo used.

However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for. The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS. Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)

Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
The studies demonstrated carotid artery disease but, also, she has a platelet count of 1004 k per cmm and persistent reduction in her hemoglobin and hematocrit at 9.4 and 31.5.
Does anyone know how to format this? I can't find the K at all in relation to these values, but doc is clearly saying, 1004 K per cmm. thank you.
re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
Subject: re: Need help with letter I am typing re platelet counts
K is abbreviation for thousands; also used as abbreviation for potassium. platelets are expressed in thousands.
I think the 1004 k/cmm should be expressed this way.
