Some docs

actually dictate ABGs in this manner. They say a number then slash then another number then slash, etc. That is how they want it transcribed. Just make sure your numbers are correct and you are set to go!

but my account is not crazy weird picky, either. I haven't heard of it being unacceptable. If it's worth your time, I'd question QA about it and ask her why she changed it.
I have docs

who add extra letters to lots of words, if it make them easier to pronounce. Kind of weird, but it happens.

Subject: Docs
make up lots of words...they make lots of mistakes (ergo malpractice insurance)...they even misspell lots of words. If we have to deal with their ineptness, they can deal with blanks. JMHO. :-)

there must be ownership to use an apostrophe. The word Smith does not show ownership to anything.

each artery's findings separately and I number them along the left under each other. Just use your common sense so you end up with a clear report. Good luck. I remember when I first started doing caths and it wasn't easy.

The terms sound similar anyway, and if they say them a little too fast, or there's a flaw in the sound, these words sound exactly the same.
But sometimes there's a clue in what's being tested, blood or urine, and/or the diagnosis.
Also, if you can slow the sound down a little, sometimes you can hear a slight difference, just enough to know it's one or the other.
If that doesn't help, the best thing would be to send on to QA. If they can't figure it out, the docs may become tired of blanks and learn to enunciate more clearly. How difficult could that be!
Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe someone else has a foolproof way to tell.
