Do you have to follow AAMT dangerous abbrevs list?

We have to change 'cc' to 'mL' in nearly every instance now :( because that's listed on the AAMT Dangerous Abbreviations list. Were you able to keep it '2 cc' as above?
Just curious whether that's becoming the standard. (seems to me that most of those 'dangerous abbreviations' would only cause confusion if they were written, not when typed/transcribed...)
But cc is on the dangerous abbreviations list
Subject: But cc is on the dangerous abbreviations list
Most places want you to change to mL (or sometimes even milliliters).
Wrong, b.i.d. is NOT on the dangerous list. q.d. is, though.

follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
Subject: follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
I prefer to hyphen follow-up when used as a noun or adjective.
example: She will return in 3 weeks for follow-up (or followup). She will return in 3 weeks for a follow-up visit (used as adjective here).
She will follow up in 3 months (used as verb)

I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow.
I need to follow up with my doctor.
I am scheduled for followup later this month.

Subject: follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
For Example:
The patient will follow up in my office.
The patient will be seen for follow-up in my office.
My understanding has always been that follow-up and followup were the same. It was more of a personal preference whether you used the hyphen or used one word; however follow up is always used when used as a verb.
She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)
Subject: She will follow up with me(v)/will be seen in followup(n); will have a follow-up visit (adj)

If you can use the word "the" directly in front of the words "follow up", then it needs to be one word. That is the "official" note from my QA. Have a great day.

Ok,, been at this for years,, I think i have it finally and then a QA will correct followup, follow up, or follow-up. I have read and reread the explanation in all the books.. I am looking for someone to "splain to me in english Lucy". I know will follow up is correct,, he has a follow-up appointment, but I seem to get messed up with followup versus follow up. I know the verb and none definition but it does not soak in... HELP

I believe the list of dangerous abbreviations says not to use "&" symbol, but to use "and." D&C should be D and C; O&P should be O and P, etc. Not sure if I'm remembering this correctly.
Does anyone know if this sounds correct? Thanks.

but some platforms do not support symbols like the "&" sign and so you might not be able to type it. On my employer's platform I can't type it or it will cause an error when the report is being sent.

Subject: dangerous abbreviations
Now please do not flame me for asking, but I am getting confused about some of these. The one for today is hs. Is it used at all? If so, is it hs or h.s.? I thought it was not used, but substitute "bedtime", but I do not find it in BOS and on page 463 of BOS 2 it lists "BT" as to not use but substitute "hs." Can anyone give me a definitive reply with citation of source? Thanks.
