Did the doc say "cubic centimeters" or "cc"? In this case....sm

transcribe what he actually says. (Most docs don't say cubic centimeters). More common for me is the doctor saying "several millimeters", in which case I type the word out.
True, but some of the client profiles want cubic centimeters, so be careful.

I expand CC to cubic centimeters or milliliters depending on which is correct.

I always spell abbreviations out such as this one that follows a vague number , i.e., few, several, many, etc. It just doesn't look right having the abbreviation in that sort of sentence to me. If you adhere to the BOS, it suggests spelling them out in this instance as well.

Proper way to type height measurements
Subject: Proper way to type height measurements
What is the correct way to type height measurements. For example, doctor says "5 foot 1 inch". Normally when the number is pleural, it should be "feet", but the doctors always say "foot". Also, is there a comma between the foot and inches. Such as, "5 foot, 1 inch"? TIA

I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE
Subject: I know, picky picky but - fundal height in PE
When doing the PE, the doctors usually dictate the fundal height along with the vital signs. I was always taught in the hospitals where I worked that fundal height went along with the abdominal exam. Thoughts?
TIA (yes, I probably am having a stroke from working for MQ - ha ha, but I truly mean thanks in advance).
