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.
Both are correct, just type it according to your account specifics, some like disc and other disk.

overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

Is Fosamax given weekly or daily? I left a QA marker because when I look up Fosamax, it is given weekly, but the doc said 70 mg daily, so I left a blank. The QA person left it as daily. Would this be correct - Fosamax 70 mg daily?

The account I type is "almost verbatim". We type subcu, but in the lab values we have to expand the workds (alkaline phosphatase, et cetera). If a word is dictated that is not a known abbreviation, we have to type it out. I think each account is different, and as the other poster said, they should have given you an client form so that you would know what the hospital expects. Sounds like your guy kinda got his tail in a crack and felt like he needed to unload on a poor, innocent MT who was just trying to do her job! Hang in there!  W'e're cheering for you!

That's the source of the "Don't capitalize it when it stands alone" rule. My suggestion would be to follow BOS if your account uses that and to be consistent. Stedman's is (are?) notorious for inconsistency with this sort of thing.
