The patient has no discharge drainage or pus.
Initially I thought "drainage, discharge" with the comma but does it make sense without the comma?

Wondering what most people type for dosing units in the millions:
3 million units or 3,000,000 units
From what I see in BOS II, it can be typed either way. I just typed 3,000,000 units thinking it may be a little more clear on a medication list, but now I am second-guessing, so I am looking for opinions on this. Thanks 
I have 2 opinions on this --
Subject: I have 2 opinions on this --
1) Miralax is generally given 17 g - half would 8.5 g. That one grabs me more than the abbreviation issue.
2) g is an acceptable abbreviation for grams, but a lot of clients prefer it written out when used alone - much like the word liter when used alone. It can sometimes be difficult to discern in the report. If your client has no preference, I would continue to use g and just chalk it up to the QA's preference.

What is the standard for transcribing? I was told at one point to leave off the 's and type as referenced. Do you agree?
