Each doc and/or hospital may want classes and grades a certain way. It is a good idea to make sticky notes like Another KSMT said.

I said below, we do not use slang, therefore use saturating; however if verbatim, then satting is correct.

write it out or abbreviate. The abbreviation for beats per minute is bpm. Ask your QA person for approved abbreviations for this account (accounts will differ sometimes which can make us crazy).

on most accounts it is acceptable to leave 1-2 blanks. If you really think it sounds like minute, then put that.

In general, we are to write out the term in full the first time it is dictated for clarification. Then, if abbreviations are dictated later on, it is okay to use the abbreviation. Again, you must abide by account specifics. Ask your QA person to be sure.

Some of the verbatim accounts allow for medical jargon, so if in the body of the report they said he was given 2 amps of bicarb, I would probably just leave it at amps. If this was in a medication list, as on admission or discharge, I would probably write it out as ampule(s).

but the AAMT BOS dictates what is correct for the industry, getting its information from sources such as the Chicago Manual of Style, the American Medical Association book of style (which I own), etc. As the poster below states, Joint Commission goes by BOS and does not like "same" or abbreviations for diagnoses, impressions, op titles, etc. They will randomly choose patient charts and go through them to check things like this! It's the Joint Commission which recommends or removes hospital accreditations--a very powerful entity.
So, ask your QA what the account wants. If they want "same," give them "same." For other accounts, do it the correct way.

with no BOS wanted per the client, regular accounts who do use BOS and others that do not want it, and others that "just type what I say." So, like I said, refer to your account specifics.

hardcore verbatim you have to leave it as is, whether it looks ugly or not. I know, I really don't like it when they abbreviate left and right, leave words off sentence structures so they can speak faster and get it over with.

I usually address it to:
Cardiology Associates

Anytown, USA
and then use the salutation, Dear Doctors:
Otherwise, if the dictator dictates each name you could do each name on a line, then the address and then either put the salutation as Dear Doctors, or Dear Drs. Smith, Jones, White and Green.
Dr. Sam Smith
Dr. Joe Jones

what to do with trademark names. Now, I had a Coda balloon, trademark name, in the report also, it was Coda, not all caps. So, I am really, really confused.
I have to send the report in because I have other blanks. I am going to leave this word all caps, and when QA checks it, I will see if they change it or not.
Thanks everyone for the help.
