You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.

Subject: We have been caught by our QA for transcribing Toprol XL instead of Toprol-XL Since there is

technically not a drug called Toprol should this be transcribed as Toprol-XL though dictated as only Toprol. Have not been called on this yet, but just wondering what others do.
